So I have a 29 gallon tank. I only had 5 corydoras in it for a few months. I finally decided to get some buenos aires tetras. I got the 6 that was recommended to start with.
While they were in their quarantine tank, they attacked one of the smaller ones. His tail got pretty much destroyed. I had to take him out, and he has mostly recovered. Since putting them in the 29 gallon tank, they have periods where they seem OK with each other, and then they will chase each other non-stop. They do not bother my corydoras. The smaller one does not really try to swim with the bigger ones yet. They also do not seem to school together as much as I saw them doing at the pet store.
Is this normal for the buenos aires tetras? I tried to put plenty of plant coverage so they can't constantly see each other. I don't want these fish to be stressed out if this isn't normal. I've had them for over a month and they are still acting this way. Any advice would be appreciated!
