So finally after a bit of waiting got my first fish, 4x tiger barbs and 4x burma gold ring danio. Being new to this and new fish I am looking for info and wondering about their behaviour.
They are schooling in their own groups. The danio seem to be hanging out near one side of the tank and what could only really be described as shimmering up the glass as it's quite reflective. Are they looking for more of their own kind? I checked the heater and it's admittedly near but not at the bottom of their ideal. When I put my hand behind the glass the disperse into the water. I am curious as to what they are doing.
Also the tiger barbs are hiding under a huge piece of drift wood in their group and not doing much between some densely planted floor under the driftwood. There are 4 of them and I noticed them either fighting or playing and wondering whether there needs to be more of them and or if something is wrong if they're "hiding" in the plants, under the driftwood.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
