Black Phantom tetra, lonesome?

first hi and thanks for looking at this thread,

i have a 29 gallon tank with 5 BP tetras, 1 DG, Clown pleco, and 1 Cardinal tetra.

my question is one of my BP likes to hang out near the top of my tank behind the heater, really never seems to come down or swim with the other tetras unless a give him some insentive, he all by himself and i dont know if he may be sick or just hasnt adjusted to the new surroundings yet,

any ideas?

Did you add that BP after you had the first four? sometimes it takes a little for fish to start schooling, especially if you add one to a group of four. The pecking order is already established, so it may take some time.

Hmm... He could possibly be sick... You said "adjusting to the new surrondings". Did you change tanks/decor around? He just might not feel confortable yet.
