Buenos Aires Tetras are among the more nippy of the tetra clan. They are larger then most as well. Front toothed bites are always more serious then other fish. I would never advise BA Tetras with trailing fin fish - but they are not overly aggressive. In a large enough group, 5+ fish, BA´s are fine.

Most of the tetras are schooling/shoaling fish so I would always advocate keeping a group of 5 or more.
