Description
The Emperor Tetra is an ideal species for the mature community aquarium. These beautiful, peaceful, shoaling fish should be housed in a well decorated tank that contains plenty of plants (rooted and floating) and spindly driftwood. Male fish sometimes spar with one another as they vie for the attentions of the females, but no real harm should ensue; the displays are very eye-catching as the colours of the male fish intensify and the elongated fins are spread wide. It is best to try and outnumber males with females wherever possible, which is easiest to achieve in larger groups.
