Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001	Black widows, like most disc-shaped tetras, have a nasty habit of sometimes nipping fins, plants, and anything else in-between. I would suggest upping the number to 8-10. The larger number of fish means that the aggression would be amongst themselves, and they would be less likely to terrorize other tank denizens. Joe Potato

So, i think it's better to have 10 Black Widows to lessen their aggression. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
