Rosey Tetra Or Black Widow?

[SouthernCross]

Hi all,

Pretty much what the title says. I'm tossing up between Rosey Tetras and Black Widows (school of 10) as dither fish for my cichlid tank - the cichlids I have are generally the more milder tempered. I have two angels (not a pair), two severums and two blue acaras. Other fish are a rainbow shark, some clown loaches and cories.

Anyone want to tell me which tetra would be best and why? As in, differences in temperament, nippiness, etc?

Thanks in advance.

i have had both of these tetras and the black widow tetras seemes to be the nippiest out of them and i got rid of them as they killed my betta after they ate half its tail then i got the rosey tetras and they were really good towards my new halfmoon gold betta and they were more attractive aswell
