black phantom tetras

[sushi]

I saw these tetras, here:
phantom tetras
I want to get a school of them for my larger tank to replace all my platties. Thought they might be something different to look at.

EDIT:
Just decided I'd like to breed them.
Has anyone bred them? know about breeding them?
I looked on net how to sex them and I have males and females (I've got five all up). Do you know how big they'd be b4 they breed? mine are not quite an inch (not inc tail). Are they the same requirements as barbs? Ive read up on breeding them b4. I've got a 5g that I use for breeding guppies, that I can use for the tetras and another with only snails in it that needs a heater. WOuld these do?
Thankyou for any advice

hi sushi... I cant comment on black phantoms with angel fish , but i have had a group of 5 black phantoms for about 18mths and they seem very easy going .. a bit timid for a while but not shy anymore . they like some plant cover and are quite active when they 'play' I haven't seen any aggression or fin nipping from them at all. mine are about 3.5 cms . a very nice fish . but then tetras are one of my favourite fish pebbs

thanks for that I was thinking I might get rid of my angel anyway cause would rather have a couple of schools of little fish. I love the angles but they're not particularly interesting to look at. so thanks

P.S. got two Red phantoms/serpaes, so if you know about them, I'd be interested in breeding them also.
Can you cross breed the red and the black?
