I have a 15 gallon tank,in it are 8 glowlights and 13 neons.
The were living peacefully as they should because glowlights and neons are tetras and have a peaceful temperament but i suddenly see my small glowlight with a broken fin chasing the others that are schooling together.
This is my first problem by far.
My glowlights and neons are schooling together except my small glowlight with a broken fin.
How can i fix this?
I dont want to buy a seperate tank because i already have two,this one and another one with a flower horn that has a very aggresive nature.
Oh,the small glowlight,it occupies half,and i mean half the tank.

i don't have faith that the different fish had something to do with. How is the water high quality? And is there any sign of affliction interior the tank? The tetras could have died on their very own and decomposed. The do no longer likely go away a corpse. Their bones are as skinny as hairs and that they crumble after some hours; any meat is picked off via the different fish. i've got had an excellent form of fish that died interior the tank and in basic terms "disappeared" afterwards.

Glowlights and other tetras are schooling fish as you know. But the schools should be made up of odd numbers of fish. usually schools of 5 to 11 fish. (sometimes more) This may be the source of your problem. Try getting another fish to make an odd number of fish. See if that helps.
At the end of the day. Just like people, some fish are just jerks.

I have a question for you...How big are your fish?
You should only have 1 inch of fish per gallon. Maybe they're fighting over space.

Fishes in schooling dont get easily hurt by attacker.
Dont worry it will change sooner.

Hi-
I think because each fish have different characteristic. You could treat this by using- API Melafix.
Good Luck!
