What have your experiences been with them? I have 3 and am considering taking them back to LFS. The only fish they do not bother are my rams and cories. Everyone else they chase or nip at I've had them since Friday and things haven't gotten any better.
 
Like many nippy tetras they need to be kept in a larger group. A minimum of 6 and more if possible. Higher numbers help to keep nipping withing the school. It's not a cure all but usually helps alot.

Makes sense. My serpae's nip but only at each other. The black skirts aren't really growing on me as much as I thought they would. I may just take them back anyway. Thanks for the reply!
