Adult specimens exhibit a noticeable blue\/purple sheen, especially during breeding displays. Females are generally smaller and plumper. This species breeds in pairs and thrives in shoals of at least 6 to 10 fish. Males may display competitive behavior, but this is not problematic in a spacious, well-decorated aquarium. Smaller shoals may lead to fin-nipping of other tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue\/Purple Emperor Tetra usually occupies the top and middle levels of the water column but can also be seen swimming and feeding at lower levels. They are compatible with other peaceful, small fish. Though they have a robust body compared to many smaller tetras, their mouths are very small. Adult dwarf shrimp may coexist with them, but the tetras might eat small shrimp and their fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also be suitable tank mates. Being tank-raised, these tetras are adaptable, but they prefer soft, acidic water similar to their natural habitat, which is rich in tannins and leaf litter.

Females, on the other hand, develop reddish pelvic, anal, and adipose fins and have fuller midbodies. This coloring can sometimes cause them to be mistaken for other Tetra species. For breeding, set up a tank with floating plants and dim lighting. Males perform courtship displays with their fins.

Since it is tank-raised, this fish is somewhat adaptable, but its natural habitat contains slightly acidic water rich in tannins and leaf litter.  It requires very clean water to thrive and it will display optimal coloration and health in a planted aquarium with dark substrate, especially where floating plants are present.  It should not be kept with overly boisterous tankmates that will outcompete it during feeding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWhile not a picky eater, the Ember Tetra will thrive and remain very colorful on a varied diet of mostly carnivorous foods.  High-quality flake food, pellets, and live, frozen, or freeze-dried \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtemia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, microworms, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTubifex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and finely chopped bloodworms will all be readily accepted.  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat We Like About This Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautiful coloration and very small size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeaceful disposition with fish and peaceful invertebrates\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery active and noticeable fish in any aquarium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal for nano and planted aquariums\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperature: 68° - 82.4° F (20° - 28° C)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003epH: 5.0 - 7.0, slightly acidic water is preferred\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKH: 3 - 12 dKH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMinimum Tank Size: 10 gallons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE INFORMATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage purchase size: .25-.5 inch (.6-1.3 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiet: Micropredator.

It does well with other small, peaceful fish, but be cautious with small adult shrimp, as they may become prey. Larger, peaceful invertebrates are generally good tankmates. To thrive, the Lemon Tetra should be kept in schools of at least 6 individuals. Though tank-raised, this species still prefers soft, acidic water rich in tannins and leaf litter, which mimics its natural habitat. Clean water is essential for its health, and it will flourish in a planted tank with floating plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fish is not particularly fussy about food, but a varied diet of high-quality flake, pellets, and both frozen and live omnivorous foods will keep it healthy and vibrant.
