The purple emperor tetra being Inpaichthys Kerri? Reason i am asking as i seen your tetras a few times in pictures and they do look fabulous but was never sure of their scientific name. I really like the one in your last pic

Nematobrycon palmeri as far as I know is what I have, I think Kerri is the purple

You do. Don't often see Purple Emperor Tetras (Inpaichthys Kerri) in stores or as the Americans call them Kerri Tetras.fr499y wrote: Tue Oct 29, 2024 19:07 pm Nematobrycon palmeri as far as I know is what I have, I think Kerri is the purple
Seriouslyfish - Purple Emperor Tetra
Purple Emperor have shorter dorsal and caudal fins, nor the black edging to their finage of Emperor Tetra.
