Shoaling

[jailawes]

Hello!

I've got 4 black widow tetra's in my tank at the moment, they aren't shoaling (discussed in another topic) but i've seen on another website that they should be kept in groups of 5 or more. Would you recommend me buying at least another one even though they arent shoaling, or is the four ok because they arent shoaling, which means that they don't feel threatened.

thanks!

i would say if they arent killing each other it should be okay as it is, but if you want another then go for it.

i just have four they don't shoal much, and they seem fine, it's up to you whether you want another one or not.

If you have the tank space? add a few more
this fish does better in a large group.
