hi, does anyone know how long silver tip tetras typically live for?

it's been about 2 years 3 months since i got them, although i only have one left.

it's been quite an aggressive fish (most of them were, too) and kept chasing the young male guppies, serpae tetras and mountain minnows (altho the MM's got moved and are much happier), but seems to have mellowed the last couple of months.

just wondering if this is an age thing.

there have been times where i've thought about flushing it, as it did kill a few guppies, but i'd never have the heart to do that to it, lol!!

we're wanting to get some new fish now, but obviously the silver tip may be a concern. any suggestions on suitable tank mates?
 
Slivertips can be quite aggressive at times they like to nip the fins of other fish! How old is the tank is it cycled?
 
i got a group of 6 silver tips, they have ago at each other but leave my other fish alone.
