Hey there,
im considering buying some colombian tetra's..proberly buy 3 and see how they get on before considering a further 2. However in my tank I have 5 neon tetra's,4 zebra danios, 2 black mollies and 2 bala sharks. One of the bala sharks is around 5 inches big, would the colombian tetra's nip its fins? Or any of my fish for that matter? Thanks |

Columbian tetras are fin nippers but generally they pick on slow moving fish or fish with long flowing fins (like male fighters and guppies). If you keep them in a group of 8-10 then they will be less inclined to nipping fins. The more the merrier generally.
