    I've 2 and they are getting very aggressive towards each other. I've read they need a shoal of 6+ and my tank is pretty much fully stocked so if anyone has a shoal of them and want to add 2 more they are going free. I'm in Dublin 17 and can deliver if needs be.
    They are fat at the moment as they steal all the food.
    I recorded this video to show the missus the plants Pearling after a water change but it shows the little fatties so I uploaded it to show yous.

    One of the tetras now has a black lumpy patch behind his eye on his scales. Does anyone know if this could just be damage from the fighting or a disease?

    Still looking to get rid of the 2 black skirts? We have 2 ourselves in with guppies and tetras and they dont seem aggressive at the moment. My wife was only saying today they should be in a shoal of 10ish. We are dublin 17 too if you still need a home for them. Might build up our shoal a bit.

    Hi I'd love to get rid but one of them has a big black lump behind it's eye. I don't want to give them and then discover I've just passed a disease to your fish.
    They are their if you want to take them and then quarantine them if you have a separate tank. Your call.
