Black Emperor Tetra
The Black Emperor Tetra will make an awesome schooling fish. Their unique color pattern is bound to impress. This little guy will thrive in aquariums with plants and drift wood, which will help stimulate their natural habitat. They prefer very clean water and neutral pH to thrive. This Tetra will display optimal coloration and health in a planted aquarium. The Black Emperor has smaller mouths and will need pellet and flake foods small enough. They are a smaller, non-boisterous fish, so they should be paired with other peaceful fish that make them feel safe and do not compete for food. Consider a group of seven of these fish to be an absolute minimum as far as stocking goes.
