I added five Blue Emperor Tetras to my 10-gallon planted tank. They’ve been active and peaceful since day one. The blue color is striking and they swim in a coordinated school. Easy to care for as long as the tank is cycled.

The fish arrived healthy and looked vibrant. I kept them in a group of six with some other tetras. They seem to enjoy the planted background and don’t stress easily.

Great addition to my aquarium. The color is vivid and they swim gracefully. I’ve kept them in a 20-gallon tank with a good filter and stable water parameters. They’ve adapted well.
