Need some help, got new earth eaters from online

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks xraycer, I did it and now they are swimming around the tank with no problems. The dominant earth eater isn't picking on them.
Classic step for introducing new fish to an established fish of the species. Glad it worked.

Other tricks are introducing the new fish at night with lights off (especially when there's already a group) or using a clear divider for a while, which often leads to the established fish eventually accepting presence of the newbie(s).

The new ones are doing great, they got a little nipped though so I put some melafix in just in case. But they are swimming around happily and sometimes they flair up.
