Sarah, I had a group of 6 of these Columbia Red Tailed tetras and they were the most aggressive tetras I have ever had. They were banished from a South American tank to a Rift Lake tank and still managed to get a steady dietary supplement of tail fin bits. They went back to the local shop with the africans when I switched the tank over to discus. I had they about 2 years and they were in the 2.5 to 3 inch size range.
