Description
Serpae Tetra is a beautiful glittering species but has a bad reputation for being a fin-nipper. This will present a problem where fancy long-finned fish are concerned, so choose tankmates with care. The “nippiness” can be controlled to a degree by keeping larger shoals (10+ fish) in larger tanks with plenty of decor and plant life to create “visual barriers”, although fish with very long trailing fins would still not be recommended.
