Black Emperor Tetra (Nematobrycon palmeri "Black")
The Black Emperor Tetra is a striking variation of the classic Emperor Tetra, featuring a deep, velvety black coloration and the same elegant, elongated fins that make the species so popular. These peaceful and hardy fish display a subtle iridescence under aquarium lighting and are perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to community tanks. Black Emperor Tetras are active swimmers and show their best colors when kept in schools in well-planted aquariums.
