Default How are these tetra species compared to neons?

Are black neon tetras and glowlight tetras less nippy than neons? I tried a school of 12 neon tetras in my tank with a black ghost (baby), two angelfish, and some rams. The neons actually pestered the black ghost so much that I had to remove them.

Will black neon tetras and glowlight tetras be any less nippy? Oh, and are they less "hyper" than neons? I got 5 of each, and they school together fine.

Ive had the glolights.They get a little larger than neons but they were not nippy at all.I kept mine in a school of ten and they did well without bothering the resident betta.Of course I had some head and tail light tetras as well,and they all seemed preoccupied with each other.Still no nips though.

Ive never seen neons nip :s mine have never touched another fish being gourami, rams, cory or danios.

I have neons and black neons the black neons are more playful with each other though where as neons just are so chilled back lol.
