Can someone identify?

[Morgaaan]

I bought this fish and have no idea of its name? Could someone help me and tell me some stuff about it?

I think its a serpae tetra.

Definitely a serpae tetra. The short fin variety.

Thumbs up for serpae tetra. I hope you got at least 3! Like all tetras, serpaes do best in schools- the bigger the school, the more lively, happy and healthy your serpaes will be.

 

[Morgaaan]

Perfect! Thanks everyone, I think I got lucky this time, I bought three of them!

I think they a generally peaceful, but IME, mine were nippy and got my angel.

 

[Morgaaan]

I've noticed mine being nippy, but I'm going to add a bunch of plants so I think il be okay!

It help to have at least 6 or them or more because aggression tends to stay directed within the school. The key word is "sometimes". They just tend to be nippy fish in general.

 

[Morgaaan]

And I believe they are nippy!

Serpae tetra. School of at least 6 if you have the tank size (preferably 10) will minimize the fin nipping.

Very beautiful fish. I want some for my tank, but I am pretty sure i'm a little overstocked
