Hello all, i was wondering if i could get some insight. I have just added four Tigers to my aquarium and the behavior is a little odd. They do school together, and /chase nip each other like they are supposed to. The problem is, they only do it in darkness. Once the tank is lit, they actually pack really tight under a leaf of a silk plant. They are really kinda scared of my white clouds that are considerably smaller. This even puzzles my girlfriend, who is pretty good with keeping fish. Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks.

How long have you had them. They might take awhile to get used to their new home. Some fish take quite awhile. My newest goldfish was scared of the other ones for a while, it took over 2 weeks for her to swim and eat with the others. All fish are different in how long they take to get used to new tanks and their tankmates.

good posting there!

Yeah! My guppies were that way!

They took about 3 weeks to a month and then they finally swam around with the others!

It jsut depends on the atmosphere of your tank and the attitudes or all the fish when they are combined!

Thanks!
