Can someone please identify these fish, I have 2 in my tank and 1 keeps chasing the other. I have already had to get rid of 1 fish that wasn't compatible and wondering if I have another 2.

I didn't buy them BTW, came with the tank.

They`re tetras of some sort and if I`m correct then they should be kept in a shoal of approx 6 or more to keep any aggression at bay

They're black skirt tetras. I have the longfin variety. They're lots of fun! In fact, the top photo looks like a young lonfin, but the bottom is a plain black skirt (or black widow).

I originally got 6, one died early on, but the remaining 5 are great, healthy and a lot of fun.
