funniest thing ever

ok so I have 5 gold barbs in my 20 gallon, and I got 3 cories a week ago and I've had them in quarantine now for a week, well I introduced them to their new tank about 2 minutes ago, well the second they came into the tank all 5 barbs came together and surrounded them at were just staring at them, when the cories swam, the barbs followed just staring at them like "what are you doing in my house?" it was the funniest thing I've ever seen, wish I could have taken a picture (would have but no digi cam), just thought I'd share

i had a molly that would do that. i'd add a new fish, she'd follow it around for a while (always worried she'd stress the new guys out...). then she'd lose interest. i swear she did it to let them know it was HER tank....

hehe my tetras did the same when i introduced cories and they havent stopped following them yet so give up any hope of your barbs behaving normaly again

wondeful now I'm going to have 8 cories instead of 5 barbs and 3 cories... , if they're still doing it tonight I'll have to get a picture (I'm sure someone I know has a digi cam)
