Blue Tetra aggressive?

[Luvi]

Anyone keeping any Blue Tetra? Are they aggressive? All online reviews, including FroggyFox's, says they are peaceful. But I heard from the lfs store owner, and another guy who kept them before says they are aggressive. I currently have 3 black skirt tetra in a 12g tank. If I do get any, how many more blue tetra is the limit (if that is all I will have in this tank)

Thanks!

IME, they're pretty peaceful, but your black skirts would be happier if you got them some more black skirts.

Indeed...
General rule of thumb... Try to keep schooling fish in a grouping of 5 or 6 or more fish (an ideal). Though at the very least, you must have 3 fish.. Which you do...

Yep...I agree, I'd go with some more black skirts. On the blue tetras though, mine have never been anything but docile. My danios are more "aggressive" than the blue tetras and I dont consider my danios to be aggressive at all

Maybe the people who told you they were were thinking about a different fish...there are some blue cichlids, which are of course way more aggressive than tetras, and I can't honestly think of another blue fish...except maybe a gourami and it'd be hard to mistake a gourami for a tetra...so hmm yeah I dont know. I suppose they do dye some glass tetras blue?
