I've had these 5 tetras for over 3 weeks now. Everyday I see them do this little chase or lunge at each other. Is it territorial or mating? (I doubt it's mating because I've never seen any of them lay any eggs...)

They're all eating well and behaving normally otherwise. They had Ich a few days after I put them in the tank but all better now.

They're in a (roughly) hand-made tank that's 23.5L, 45.5cm long. My LFS said 5 would be fine in there with 5 pygmy corydoras. Now I'm reading online that the tank is probably too small for both?

Hello!

I have a question about what this brown plop/dot is?

One of my female pygmy corys laid eggs on the 27th and today (31st) I've found 3 tiny brown plops swimming around in my make-shift hatchery.

Are they fry?? Or what could they be?

I only found 2 eggs and I thought only one was fertilized because one was white and one was brown... But now there's 3 little things??

(These are my 3 pgymys, say hi :) And yes the male is missing an eye! I only noticed after bringing him home from the shop)
