    Yes, I have heard that they are quite aggressive, they are endangered, and wild caught, and also get really big, in case you didnt know. If you just like there look, cosider rummy nose tetras instead. If you want a different barb, Many other barbs are quite peaceful. I have had oddessa barbs, rosey barbs and gold barbs and they were not fin nippy. Though the rosey barbs get pretty big.
