My tank is cycled, so I added 6 hi fin red Serpae Tetras. Should have done my research. I later found out that they have a rep for fin nipping despite the LFS employee stating they'd be OK with Emperors and Corys. When I added the Emperors last week, the larger ones would chase the smaller ones and occasionally chase a Cory, but no fin nipping. After the Serpaes had been in for a few hours, I noticed they had looked nipped. I thought it was the Emperors nipping them because they would chase the Serpaes. But later I noticed the smaller Emperors had a little bit of their tail chewed on. Could this settle down once the tank mates get used to each other or do I need to remove the Serpaes?
