Aquariums: Bought 10 ember tetra but I think one of them is a cherry barb?
If that’s the case, should I keep or remove them? I have cherry shrimps and pgymy cories in the tank. I have seen the cherry barb going after the pgymy corie so Im a bit worried.

Not generally an aggressive species at all, but probably wont be happy being alone. For that reason alone i would return unless you have room to get 5 or 6 more.

That is definitely a cherry barb. They are good community fish and not aggressive towards other species, but they should be kept in a group of 6 or more. If you have the space, you could go back and get some more, or just return this individual. I keep cherry barbs and they are super fun.
