Fish Crazy
Hi All,
I have 10 phantom Tetras and 5 Pantazona Barbs, I recently introduced 10 Mountain Minnows and 3 Bolivian Rams. Since introducing them about a week ago, I have noticed that the phantoms and barbs are not as active anymore, they mainly sit in the back corners of the tank, The mountain minnows however are fine, swimming about happily.
During Feeding time all the fish come out and feed ok, The rams squabble a bit with each other but have never attacked or chased another fish so I am not sure why they are scared, The Rams are probably double the size but seem to be peacefull towards the others (and my existing fish are not scared of the large BN Plecs I have).
Is this normal when introducing new fish? The Rams squabble occasionally but only with each other? Can anyone help, I dont want to get rid of them if I can help it but dont want to not see my other fish! (and its not fair on them if they scared all the time).
I have these in a 180 litre bow fronted tank.
Thanks,
Craig
