    Thoughts on black skirt tetras

    I want to heat peoples thoughts/opinions on black skirt tetras. Mine are god awful and are crazy. I started off with 9 but they killed eachother and now have 4. The always steal all of the food from other fish and kill anything in sight. Long story short, I donā€™t like them
