"Rathbun's Bloodfin" the Green Fire Tetra

What do you know about this fish?. I didnt know this fin-nipping behavior of tetras, meaning pleco wouldn't be the best mate.

I ended up buying 10 of them, a few shrimps and 2 (guess what?) plecos. Also 2 black cory, they look the same color of my substrate. My tank is well planted and scaped with dark spots for everybody. I saw them nipping one pleco. Its a non-stress enviroment where they are simply showing their natural behaviors.

What else should i expect from this little guy?
