I really should get myself some other tetras. They are nifty little fish.

But, here's another serving of my Hockey-Sticks. Sitting still, as they do... These pics taken in the evening, after they all group together for the night. During the day, they don't tolerate each other at all. Staking out a patch, and chasing off any of their mates, who wander too near.

Which suprises me as i thought they were a schooling fish ! So i would have thought they would school all the time and not just when they were resting

Well, I've mentioned in the past, how annoyed I was that they don't. As that was the reason I bought them, to have them cruising up and down the tank. They just scarper, and sit in the same spot all day !

I see them cruising a bit in the evening, after grouping. Then they just sit again. But they are interesting to watch. And they seem to be the most hardiest Tetras I've had. Although I only have 8 of the original 12, these guys have lasted well over a year beyond any of my Tetras in the past.

If it wasn't for all the Guppies, I'd up these guys to 12, and find 12 of another Tetra species. Something with some color.
