Hi,this is an update to the Aggresive Silver-tip tetra thread,and I know decided I should give away the silver-tip tetra,but here is a dilema...
I have 2 silver-tip tetras in my 10 gallon tank with other tankmates(I will explain later)One of them is soo damaged I don't think my LFS will take the fish back.One of the eyes are flattened and look damaged,and I think it is permanent.Oh and here is my tank stock..

10 Gallon Fish Tank:
7 Guppies
2 Silver-tip tetras
1 neon tetra
3 Glowlight tetra

I heard that a tetra species needs to be in groups of 5...What should I do?
Problems-
SILVER TIP TETRAS ARE AGGRESIVE
SILVER TIP TETRAS WERE A MISTAKE FROM THE PET SHOP
NEON TETRAS DIED FROM FILTER
GLOWLIGHT TETRAS DIED FROM OLD AGE

I did it in capitals to make it stand out.
Please help me..

Update:I can't upgrade to a bigger aquarium,it is too big for my hoise,and it costs alot of money.
 
How about just rehoming the tetras? You'll never be able to fill out their numbers with that small of a tank and you're close to your stock limit with 7 guppies anyway.
 
You could just play it out, make sure the water is good, and see what happens.

You could get rid of the guppies, and then see why happens.

You could get rid of all the tetras and just keep the guppies and see what happens.

You could get rid of everything and get different fish. That would be better suited for you small tank.

You could get a bigger tank! Oh wait...you can't? Boooo!
 
Now here is my new stock.
-4 guppies
-2 silvertip tetras
-1 neon tetra
-3 glowlight tetras
