Livesands Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi, I have a very small group of neons, I have had them for almost one year and a few weeks ago they stopped schooling and they just swim independently, they fight among themselves and they hide sometimes... They eat great and are super healthy, not shy at all.... Anything wrong with them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I haven't kept neons as long as you but I believe that's a sign they're comfortable and relaxed in your aquarium. Schooling is a defense mechanism, no stress gets you no schooling? Mine school once in a while but usually act like you described. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 It's not uncommon for most tetras to not shoal when they feel safe and comfortable in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally 8, I lost one and healthy since then, so 7 now. I got them at my local Petsmart, they have healthy fish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
