Description

Blue emperor tetras hail from the Rio Aripuana and the upper Rio Madeira basins of Brazil. Growing up to 3.5cm in length, these peaceful freshwater fish are renowned for their iridescent blue-purple bodies, a yellow front and a bold black stripe. Males are the more vivid.

At Wirral Aquatics our blue emperor tetras enjoy a diet of EBO Pro Soft Artemia, Spirulina and Insect meal as well as fresh and frozen daphnia and brine shrimp.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
