My Red Tailed Black Shark is still only around an inch in length and likes to chase my Black Phantom Tetra around but not aggressive at all. Quite amusing to watch. He also hangs with his head toward the water by my filter ! Bit like a catfish.
Pretty and easy to keep, the Black Phantom Tetra is highly recommended. Best kept in schools. See also the Red Phantom Tetra.
