I understand what you mean....but my serpaes dont even split into groups... they just all find there own spots and defend them if another serpae gets close. Like they all hate each other.

idk i know that small tanks cause schools to spread out but i think a 55 is fine. i had a school of head/tail light tetras that did the same thing, but i noticed over time they did it less and less. they eventually went back to the pet store because they were starving my other fish. so im not sure if they were just getting used to the tank

 

i think i had them about 2 weeks
