IlhamSetiawan Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Hello everyone! I remember keeping fish in 30g tank at my grandma house, we have 8 black skirts there and i add 10 neon tetras, But when i started to introduce the neons the black skirts started to bite the head of the neons Is this behaviour normal? Because from what i read that Black skirts can be kept with smaller fish. Thanks for the respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd behavior imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milliardo Peacecraft Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 @IlhamSetiawan I'm not sure just how unusual that behavior would be. I have had black skirted tetras in my aquarium many times over the years and I have had a few of them chase and nip at others around the aquarium a bit. One fish I have never been able to keep is neon tetras. They always end up being eaten. For me, even when i put them with what i consider to be a "small" fish, they end up eaten. Apparently they are just that yummy. They are the multi-colored icecream of the fish world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
