Hey all. My 5 Colombia tetras are cobstantly fighting it out, and I've noticed after the past week or so there are tears in some of their fins from their antics. They leave the danios I have in the tank alone. I'm just concerned over the tetras.
It's a 33 gallon tank (36"L 12"W 18"H). I would have thought it would have been enough room to house them comfortably. One of them seems to 'own' one half of the tank, and he chases and attacks the other 4.
Now, when it comes down to it I don't mind fish chasing each other around. But when their fins start getting torn, then I think I should do something about it. Only at feeding times do they relax enough to eat together without trying to kill each other.
Should I add more of them? I don't want to get rid of them.
Ph:6.5(give or take a little)
Ammonia:0
Nitrites:0
Nitrates:5-10
Hardness:1
The tank is planted with mostly Amazon sword plants, so they have places to hide. Maybe I should add more? Would that help?
Thanks.
