Fin nippers, while I have never had this problem, or read about it, I will wait for someone else to verify this before an edit.--Hc8719 21:20, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

I have heard that, however I also do not know if it is true or not as I have never had a problem with mine. Also please note, that to properly sign a comment there is a button above the editing box, second from the right.

i am removing the fin nipping part, as this is vexing to myself, i have not heard this ever, will replace the deleted part after i hear of a first hand account--Hc8719 21:20, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

Good idea.

I didn't spot this statement when I updated the page earlier this year.

It's ludicrous to call neons tetras fin nippers. I've had a school of 10 for over a year and never seen them go for another fish. --Quatermass 09:49, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

• Well I must correct myself. Neons can be fin nippers (people in my local area call them "mini sharks") if they're in a large shoal. I bumped up my school to 20 and hey they're so much more confident. Just goes to show me. --Quatermass 13:45, 29 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Playing dead

I have noticed that some tetras play dead when stressed. Any comments?

• please sign your comments :-) --Quatermass 13:46, 29 April 2008 (CDT)

I guess that depends on what you mean. I have seen many fish 'play dead' due to stress (such as jumping out of a bucket or a tank and hitting the ground fairly hard), this is typically due to a shock more so then environmental stress. Could you be more specific as to how the fish is playing dead? --Brian 12:24, 29 April 2008 (CDT)
