So i when to my lfs and i bought 4 black skirt tetras. And these things are the little devils they steal all the food and chase everything.

I thougth you might like to hear that.
 
This belongs in general aquaria, not piranhas. Please note for the future. Thanks!
 
a few weeks back i bought me 10 tiger barbs, and they are indeed monsters! if i put my hand in the tank they go crazy and nip the heck out of my hand, and if i put food in the tank with just them, no matter how much i put in, they get about all of it before it even falls to the substrate. they just swarm it like you see on pirahna movies. If not for my kribs keeping them in check so they can't eat all the food, my yoyo's wouldn't get anything lol
 
i got 7 black widows/skirts and i love them to bits, they are greedy lil monkeys and really eyecatching!! Not at all surprised they nick the food

Dude, I definetly agree. Black Skirt Tetras act just like piranhas, only they are cooler.
 
I got 6 full grown ones. pretty fast fish when they swim up for the flakes on the top. Excellent jumpers. They've never jumped but they launch themselves out of the water to get food.
