Rosy Tetra Seizure?

[inthegrass]

Hi,

I am new to posting, although I have kept an eye on the boards for the past few months.

Anyway, my problem is my Rosy tetra, he was added into an established tank with 3 other Rosy's yesterday. Other fish in the tank are 4 Rosy's (+ new 4), 10 Neon tetra's, 1 Dwarf Blue Gourami and 1 Dwarf Neon Gourami + 1 Royal Plec...
The Rosy tetra in question was acting normally last night after being integrated into the tank, and he was fine first thing. Then about an hour ago I was looking at the tank and the Rosy tetra was acting strangely, he was going for any fish that came near him, and I noticed what could only be described as shaking, it looked like he was having a seizure... every part of him was shaking...

Water stat's are all normal....

What's wrong? anyone's help would be appreciated

How big is your tank? Maybe he is showing off to the females. The males have longer fins than the females and slightly bigger.

yea it sounds like mating ritual, my tetras and corys do this. before they get busy with it

Ah, so isolating him and putting him in the netted tank was a bit hasty? lol

The tank is a Fluval 800 (27.5 UK gallons)... and it's my best mate's tank... I just 'fish sit' in the day
