    This is so strange. The tank just finished cycling last Wed. I cycled with 6 red eyed tetra Tonight 2 are slightly puffy and the other 4 are chasing them. there colors are very bright and they are scurring all over the bottom of the tank. they are usually more near the center or top. I've only had the tank running under 4 weeks. the tetras were given to me to cycle the tank I know nothing about tetras. Let alone how they breed. Any suggestions?

    Let em be, I find it easier to let them go naturally for the first few mating romps then I seperate the eggs or fry.

    Mine have done this, all the other fish look on with curiosity.
