Black skirt tetras are generally peaceful fish, but they can become aggressive towards each other if they are kept in too small of a tank or if there is not enough hiding spots for them. It is important to provide them with plenty of space and hiding spots to prevent aggression.

One of my black skirt tetras has KILLED on of my zebras and is EATING it I have three black skirt tetras Is this because the skirt tetras are not in a big enough group?
Usually when your fish are eating a dead fish, it was already dead before they started eating it. I doubt whether your black skirts actually killed the zebra. If you haven't noticed them being aggressive before, I wouldn't worry about it (although I would definitely test my water to check for other reasons why the zebra might have died.) If your black skirts are definitely being aggressive (and they are one of the more aggressive tetra species) then increasing the size of the school will help, but only if you are able to increase it a lot. Aggressive schooling fish usually stop being aggressive at around the 8-12 mark, so adding two or three more black skirts probably won't solve the problem.

Platys and black skirt tetras can live together. Harlequin rasboras, platys, and guppies are smaller than black skirt tetras and would do well together. However, the black skirts nip at fins, so if you have fancy tail guppies it is not recomended to put them in a smaller tank together.
