EMPEROR Tetra 2-3cm

If you're looking for an attractive, peaceful addition to a community tank, the Emperor Tetra may be your ideal choice. Not only is it a handsome, iridescent species with impressive reflective rainbow hues, but it's also a peaceful and hardy addition to a mixed community of South American freshwater fish. Emperor Tetras are easy to find and relatively inexpensive.

These fish are native to the freshwater Atrato and San Juan River basins of Colombia in South America. They frequent areas that are slow-moving, such as small tributaries and streams, where the temperature ranges from 23–27 degrees Celsius. Though the Emperor Tetra is not widely distributed in the wild, it has become a favorite aquarium pet and is farmed for sale around the world.
