Lennie Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Silver tip tetras are known to be fin nippers. Rehome them for the peace of the tank, IMO. Thats the main reason why I have never kept them or any other well known nippers really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcorydora49 Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Yes I was going to take or atleast try to take them back to lfs because they are really neat but kinda bullies too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The Coop website recommends groups of 8-10, and tall plants and hardscape to break up the site line. A shoal of 10 would be impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rube_Goldfish Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I don't know silver tip tetras specifically, but a lot of fin nippers mostly stop that behavior when their school/shoal gets bigger. I don't know if they feel safer, or direct all their energy to their conspecifics, or both. But it sounds like your two best options are rehome them or add more, if you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
