Last weekend, I bought a shoal of 10 Columbian Tetras - one of the fish I had always planned to get as they look amazing and are pretty active. The issue is that there are one or two of them that are bullying every other tetra in sight. They literally chase them into cover, so they spend most of the day hiding - including the non-dominant Columbians - which kind of defeats the point of having fish. Maidenhead are happy to have then back, but have suggested things might settle down.
Does anyone have similar experience of such fish? Will they chill out eventually?
They only bother the tetra species and leave everything else alone.
My tank is heavily planted and is about 300l. Photo attached - almost devoid of fish! I have 12 Black Neons, 4 Cardinals plus other fish that are left alone like SAE and Apistos.
I do appreciate that my next issue will be catching them! Planning the bottle trap method.
Thanks!
