They are considered fin nippers. However, they are compatible fish for bettas. They are schooling fish so I would at least get 4 or more. When purchasing the fish ask the seller/retailer about their return policy; you may be able to return them without penalty if they pester your betta, or the possibility your betta ends up being to aggressive for tank mates. Good luck!

No, don't risk it. Serpae tetras are fin-nippers and they'll constantly stress out your Betta. Especially in a small tank such as an 8 gallon, I would find something else to go with the serpaes. (:

How long can it be before you put gubby fish with tetra fish please give me an answer thanks?
If you are going to house these species in the same tank (which I do not recommend) it is best to put these species in at the same time. Tetras can be territorial and it is not wise to add in other small fish after the tetras have established territory. This can lead to aggression. Keep in mind that tetras are "fin-nippers" and they will try to bite the tails of their tank mates with fancy or flowing tails.
