The Purple Emperor Tetra (Nematobrycon palmeri) is a stunning freshwater fish known for its shimmering purple body and elegant swimming behavior. Its peaceful temperament makes it ideal for community aquariums with other non-aggressive species.
Purple Emperor Tetras are schooling fish and thrive best in groups, but purchasing them as a pair is perfect for aquarists who wish to start a small school. They prefer well-planted aquariums with moderate water flow and open swimming areas. Hardy and easy to care for, they accept a diet of flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods. With proper care, these tetras can live up to 5–6 years while adding color and vibrancy to any tank.
