Yeah, a Severum will definately eat the tetras, they get a little bit bigger than angels, and have a much larger mouth, most of the time you're actually safe with all but the smallest tetras with angels, because the way their mouths are designed, they cant fit anything with much size in there, unfortunately, the same doesnt go for Severums
