Emperor Tetra (Nematobrycon palmeri)

Remarks: Emperor Tetras (Nematobrycon palmeri) are a perfect community fish due to their medium size, stunning colors, and sexual dimorphism. Both genders have silver bodies and a thick black band in their lower half and a think black stripe in the center of their caudal fin. Males turn a slight purple color and gain an iridescence along their body that shines in a rainbow of colors as the light bounces off. The anal, dorsal, and caudal fins in males have extensions as well as orange trim on the edges.  Scientific Name: Nematobrycon palmeri Common Name: Emperor Tetra Max Size: 2" pH: 5.0-8.0 Hardness: Soft Temperature: 70-82° Aggressiveness: Peaceful Region of Origin: South America Captive Bred or Wild: Captive Bred Diet: Small flake or pellet, small frozen or live foods Compatibility: Similarly sized schooling fish, dwarf cichlids, Corydoras, livebearers, rainbowfish, Loricariids Tank Mate Options: Beckford's Pencilfish Red Tiger Endler's Livebearer Albino Cory *****Please review ou
