Emperor Tetra
Nematobrycon palmeri
| HABITS |
|
These tetra are certainly fish to keep an eye out for. They have fantastic colour, but are better viewed with subtle lighting. These fish are a little fussier on their water, so go that extra step and be sure to use ‘Aquatest’. They really are nice when kept in a group. They like a planted tank, but enjoy the open part of your aquarium, out in the front, where they show off best.
