Yeah, I mean this tank won't be set up for months yet. I'm still in the process of setting up my 35l.

So in this case you do need the threat fish to get them back in a group. However, I wonder if the level of threat to get them schooling is also quite stressful and might effect their long term health - could be ethically thin ice to keep your fish scared so they compliment your planted tank...?!Lemon tetras exhibit an interesting behaviour pattern in the aquarium, replicated by several other characin species, in which males will adopt 'landmarks' within the aquarium and use these as places from which to display as maturity approaches. Displays are principally performed between rival males...

Was quite cool to watch as if they were all tied together and then the thread attached to each end of the glass.
