5 Neon tetras

I have 5 neon tetras in my 15gall tank along with 8 danios (6 zebra, 2 Leopard). I originaly had 5 neons but one died on 28th July, and since then I have noticed that the Neons are chasing each other and the danios more, or are just staying still amongst the plants and not swimming. They used to be very active. Do you think maybe I should get anothe neon to make the group back up to 6 again?

Thanks

Sorry I missed your post They should settle down after a bit. If not then you can add another. Their behaviour at this point sounds pretty nprmal to me.

Sorry.

I'll see what happens, and if this continues I will add another. Thanks Carol.

Re: 5 Neon tetras

There was one of the 5 I have left that always hid in the back of the tank, but now he comes out and swimms with the others more. If I watch from a distance they will swim a lot, but if I go to sit right next to the tank the will hide (unless I am feeding them and they swim to the surface to get the food. ). Are they scared of me or something?

I will keep watching them, and I'll wait to see if they get more confident or not. If they don't, I might buy another to make their group up to 6.
