About LinkBacksI have a school of 10 tiger barbs(plains, albinos, greens, platinum greens), a few serpae tetras, and 9 other barbs(red glass, gold, black ruby).
They have all been together for a while now, and I've started noticing that the other fish have adopted the behavior of the tiger barbs. Head stands, chasing each other, establishing a pecking order amongst themselves.
Before they would all sort of roam the tank aimlessly, now they are all schooling and 'playing' together.
They leave the gouramis and catfish alone though, which have been in there just as long.
Anyone know whats up? Or experienced something like this before?
Not really concerned or anything, just curious. It's fun to watch haha.
