Black Widow Tetra?

hi i think im going to get a shoal of 6 black widow tetra into my community tank, does any know of any aggression from the fish and what part of the tank they would mainly be?

Thanks James

They tend to stay around the middle of the tank. They can be fin nippers, so I wouldn't get them if you have anything with long trailing fins, like guppies or Siamese fighters, although in a group of 6 or more they might be alright; depends on the individual fish and whether you want to risk it or not.

On that note most tetra will be fin nippers if not kept right, provided they've got the space, decor and large enough groups i wouldnt worry,

125 litre tank 80 cm long.
contains albino corys bronze corys kuhli loach and glass catfish i expect them to be ok with these other species, would i be right in saying that?

Cheers James
