Blood thristy blood fin tetras...

[cichlidfish]

I have a group of 7 w/ some smaller swordtails. I have notice them swallowing swordtail fry head first and ganging up on swordtails about the same size as the bloodfins. I thought they were just fin nippers, but they do more then that. They tear their prey appart like a school of hungry pirranhas. Anyone else have this experience?

No I've never dealt with them,my favorites are the Buenos Ares and the Colombians.

Those great tetras too. I thought blood fins would make a nice community fish when kept in groups, but I guess that isn't the case here.
