Rumey Nosed behavior, Please help

[Squid-vicious]

Hello, i am clearly new at this tropical freshie kinda thing :/. I have two Ghost cats, Three Rumey Nosed Tets, and 1 albino corey, in a 20 gallon tank. It is filtered, bubbler-ed, heated etc.

I have had these fish for a few days now, and things have been going great, but since last evening one of the largest of the rumeys seems to be chasing the smaller ones around :/. I have noticed a few nips here and there but im not sure what to think or how to handle this, also they haven't been swimming together; their faces have faded a little :C im not quite sure what to do, please help?

I believe theyre schooling fish and youre gonna need a few more. a group of 8 maybe, all together?

+1 for Newman.

The dominant fish's aggression will be spread out among more if he has more targets. That way, no one or two fish will be bullied.

Get a few more when you can and all will be better for them.

Do you know about cycling a tank for the water to be healthy for the fish to live in? It takes a minimum of 4-6 weeks, and as long as several months, depending on the method used.

Agree. Get a good test kit like this one and do regular water changes.
