Blue Emperor Tetra (Inpaichthys kerri)

Fabulous fish, highly recommended as beautiful, hardy, and interesting. One male, please, with several females or so.

Beautiful fish, that deserves a dark substrate and lots of plants to show off its beauty. More males per tank are possible in my opinion, but they are territorial amongst themselves and towards other smaller fish. Agressive behaviour in my tank has never gone beyond the showing off of strength, though.

Beautiful fish.. but they are jumpers so be careful with open top tanks! Torpedobarb

Picked up a half dozen of these at my LFS today, from that experience and what I've seen on the net, it seems like the current pictures representing this particular species are not in fact Inpaichthys kerri, but Nematobrychon palmeri. Noticeable differences between the species are the presence of an adipose fin on I. kerri and the trident tail on male specimens of N. palmeri. Inpaichthys kerri is also much smaller than Nematobrychon palmeri, Growing to a max of ~1.5 in.
