bleeding heart tetras

i found some nice bleeding hearts at the pet stoe and want to pick them up but was wondering if they will bother the other fish in my tank

you should be fine with any of the Tetras with the other fish listed. bleeding hearts are mellow just like most Tetras. Personally, I like the more colorful Tetras like Glowlite, Pristellas(x-ray Tetras) & Lemons
 
sounds like you're fine. how many of the bleeding hearts did you plan on buying?

i know they can nip at each other if you have too few.
 
I had three to start with, I now have seven. They nipped at my dwarf gouramis a little at first but they are fine now.

I like them because they get fairly large.
 
in my personal experience 3 is too little. the lfs will say 3 but with tetras ive found you need at least 6 for them to be a school.
 
Yeah I have to agree even though sometimes even 6 is not enough the bigger the school the more likely they will school.
 
I have 4 bleeding heart tetras and 1 Buenas Aires tetra. most of the time, they just swim around. But when they are scared, all five of them school together.
