Just got 10 ember tetras. About a week now and this one seems to bully others that come near its little area. It’s a 10 gallon tank so I don’t understand. Is this just something that happens with new fish in a new environment. Is my tank overly stocked? not enough swimming space to much decor? Like it won’t stop trying to hit the others tbh at go near it. It made another one hostile to and now 2 in total are doing it but this one I notice has been doing for 1 hour now since I’ve noticed it

Males getting fussy over females, fishes trying to mate also looks like fighting to a lot of beginners. You should look up videos on breeding ember tetras to get an idea of what that behavior looks like and compare to what you’re seeing.
They’ll settle soon enough and establish a pecking order, adding more tall plants in the mid ground to break up line of sight wouldn’t hurt in the meantime.
