I just noticed that the rainbows were the ones chasing non stop. The black skirts checked them out a bit and swam away without doing a thing, but the rainbows were the ones nipping and nipping. The rainbows were searching for the cardinals when they couldnt see them. It's like they were on a mission to kill them?

Was it their colour?

It couldn't have been the size, no fish in my tank was THAT much larger then them. I have a pearl danio just as small as the cardinals, and he is fine.

Im really interested in what made them do that? Did they feel invaded? They didn't want more fish in their tank?

WHAT?
