About two days ago I bought three lemon tetras to cycle my tank. On the first day, they chased each other around a little bit, but mostly schooled. Yesterday, the chasing got worse, and they schooled less. One of the tetras in particular got chased a lot, and didn't chase back. Today, whenever I check on the tank, it is hiding from the other two. All of the fish are eating, and the other tetras are doing great. There is no sign of damage on any fish. I've been told that the chasing meant the fish were establishing their heiarchy, is this true? Does anyone know if the fish is ok, or maybe sick? Please help.

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Well everyone, though I'm grateful for the outpouring of replies and condolescences, I've solved the problem myself. I bought two other lemon tetras, and they are all schooling together peacefully. Thanks again for all the help! *is tired from all the sarcasm*
