Black Phantoms...super Shy!

[ajbettle]

is it natural for new fish in the tank to be very shy and not swim alot when first intruduced?
i bought some black phantom tetras 2 days ago and ther still piled up in a shoal in a corner....wats wrong?

i have a strong current...do they not like that? there only small but i hardly ever see them eat?
they ate some flake as soon as they went out the bag but they ignored bloodworm or spat it out, are they eating wen the lights are out or when im not there..

i thought they were swimmers?

there very shy and timid, even scared of the corys! (o yea the corys are fine scoffing blood worm as i type! lol, i love em!) but worrid about the black phantom tetras...any help? thanks, tetra-man2

People are just gonna give up on you why bother asking questions if you do not listen to the answers like you have been told before. Also you are overstocked your tank is only 6g also corys need to be in bigger groups and so do your tetras you have been told this before so you aint gonna listen.
