Are your black Widow Tetras nippy? Mines used to be and that's why I don't like to keep them anymore.

if you mean nippy as in nipping the other fish then no, they wouldn't dare the cichlids are at least twice the size

they are quick though, steal all the food if I'm not sneaky about feeding them

I bought him at about 2 inches but I've yet to find a website that recommends a tank size for him
