	Aggressive neons;
Rookie_Boy1 Hobbyist Posts: 53 Kudos: 27 Votes: 0 Registered: 14-Apr-2007	Edited by Rookie_Boy1 I bought six tiny neon tetras to coexist with my last adult sized neon from my last batch. A few hours after being released from the bag, they began chasing and nipping at each other. Are they sorting out the pecking order, like, who's top neon? If not, what are they doing then? They also follow the large neon everywhere he goes. If he goes inside the log where the BN resides, inside the new neons go too, much to his annoyance. R_Boy1

I have seen my existing fish swim around the bag still holding the yet to be released new fish, checking them out. It's like, "Who is this guy?" Once introduced, everything will be fine.
