OVERVIEW

The Emperor Palmeri Tetra is native to the freshwater of Colombia in South America. They frequent areas that are slow-moving, such as small  tributaries and streams.

It does best in groups of five or six with a single alpha  male, though it can thrive as a mated pair. It is also a peaceful species, and thus ideal for a relatively small community tank though it will be disturbed by more boisterous species.

Scientific Name: Nematobrycon palmeri
