Anybody Keeping Serpae Tetras?

[augustaranger]

I've read that serpae tetras sometimes terrorize and even kill other fish. Some say that even cory catfish are attacked. Does this sould right?

Also, would ghost shrimp be OK with them?

Thanks!

Serpaes are very nippy as tetras go. Try rosy tetras, look very much like serpaes (nicer IMO)and are very peaceful.

Heh, ya, they're very nippy. I had a group of 10 or so, and they were certainly entertaining (especially for tetras), but they got a little annoying with other stuff in the tank.

Would ghost shrimp be OK with serpaes?

 

[rockerBOO]

They (Ghost Shrimp) will probally not be ok, as they will be nipped and/or eaten probally.

What about pygmy or albino cories?

I have 4 and to be honest i want them out the tank, they are horrible, all they did was chase the panda cories so i moved the cories

i would never buy them again put it that way...

Could you suggest a tankmate that they won't bully? Barbs?

Thanks.
