what else do you have in the tank?? It might be because mine are in with krib's and the krib's constantly keep them in check.
Schooling fish

Right now there are platies, serpae tetras and cories. I want to get rid of the serpae though as they are harrasing my platies.
harlequin rasboras. i just got a school of 15 for my tank. they school pretty well... usually a main group of 10 or so moves as one, then there'll be a few stragglers all over the place. very cool fish, awesome colors, nice and peaceful. occasionally my yo-yo loaches will swim right into the middle of the school and they go every which way, but other than that all is well. plus i think they're more active than some of the smaller tetras. i remember neons just kind of "hanging out", whereas these guys are always on the move. highly reccommended 
I have a painted tetra and it always harasses my platys and I am thinking about taking it back my dealer.
Well I was going to take the 4 Serpae back but now I'm not so sure - they seem to have calmed down a bit with the harrassing.
However, what I have noticed is that this fish (I only have 4) is a very nice schooler. They swim back and forth in a group and they are very nice to watch. So I'm not sure if I should keep them or not?

I posted an answer to your problem in another post. But larger tetras need more space and more of their own kind. With a good school (6 or more) in a big tank they are not aggressive. This may not be the rule but just my experience.

I've got a good size tank but I ended up netting them out anyway. Basically I had to take my tank apart to get them but I did it. Now I just hope I didn't stress my other fish to the point of losing some of them..
