hi guys
i was a bit concerned for my 20 newly bought neon tetras. i bought them from the shop, they are well present in the shop tank. when i took them back to my home and put them into my new tank, they are appeared to be very panic, scared of light, never swim in the tank, they stick together in the corner of the tank, usually the dim corner, and they swim in a panic manner, seem like they are looking somewhere to escape from the tank. oh no, what it's happenning???? help help, can anyone give some advise, thank you thank you.
my tank water temperature is 29.5 degree, 6.8 to 7 PH, the tank was new, the water is new but has been aged/cycling for 4 days, chlorine and ammonia reduction solution had been used immediately after the tank was filled with tap water 4 days ago. there are 2 amazon sword plants in the tank (bought at the same time with the neon tetra)
i have a 1.2m light tube, when i turn off this light tube, the neon tetras seem to be a bit relax, but when i turn the light on again, they are panic again. apparently, they are scared of light, why are they like this?
pls help.
much thanks from you guys.
