Description
This strain of the Emperor tetras is nicest looking of them all. They have a black velvety body and white noses. The difference between male and female is that the males have blue eyes and the females green. A good group size would be eight to ten of them. This will prevent bullying amongst the group. They enjoy having a nice hiding spot for breeding and just for hiding from larger fish. A good thing to have on the bottom of your tank would be java moss but again this is not needed regular plastic plants work too.
