{"product_id":"blue-emperor-tetra-jumbo-pair","title":"Blue Emperor Tetra Jumbo (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Emperor Tetra (\u003cem\u003eInpaichthys kerri\u003c\/em\u003e) is a very attractive shoaling fish for the community aquarium. Its distinctive coloration consists of a mostly cream-colored body that is highlighted by a thick horizontal black stripe and yellow edges along its fins.  Adult specimens also display a very noticeable blue\/purple sheen especially when displaying breeding behaviour. Females are generally smaller and thicker in size.  The Blue\/Purple Emperor Tetra typically breeds in pairs and must be kept in shoals of at least 6 to 10 fish. Males will posture and compete for females, but this aggression is not a problem in aquariums with ample space and plenty of décor. Smaller shoals of this fish may result in fin-nipping of other species in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blue\/Purple Emperor Tetra typically occupies the top and middle level of the water column, although it can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well.  It is safe to keep with other peaceful, small fish. Though it has a relatively robust, larger body than many smaller tetras, it has a very small mouth. Adult dwarf shrimp are possibly safe tank mates as well, but adult Blue\/Purple Emperor Tetras may eat small dwarf shrimp and their fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tank mates. Since it is tank-raised, the Blue\/Purple Emperor Tetra is fairly adaptable, but its natural habitat contains soft, acidic water rich in tannins and leaf litter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile not a picky eater, the Blue\/Purple Emperor Tetra will thrive and remain very colourful on a varied diet of meaty foods. High-quality flake food, pellets, and frozen or freeze-dried tubifex and bloodworms will all be readily accepted.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat We Like About This Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegant coloration, especially in males\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeaceful disposition with fish and peaceful invertebrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery active and noticeable fish in any aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy and adaptable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFascinating shoaling behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eTemperature\u003c\/u\u003e:  76° - 80° F (24° - 27° C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003epH\u003c\/u\u003e:  5.5 - 7.0 (acidic water is preferred)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eKH\u003c\/u\u003e:  4 - 8 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eMinimum tank size\u003c\/u\u003e:  20 gallons for a school\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE GUIDELINES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eDiet\u003c\/u\u003e:  Omnivorous.  Will  easily accept high quality dry and frozen foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eSocial behavior\u003c\/u\u003e:  Peaceful, schooling\/shoaling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/wdQjxuyPlU0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"B4P","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43492488675417,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/9814\/5587\/products\/BTKA_15487158518251095_63752768ad12f0c0406e22ed6c7738.jpg?v=1717500733","url":"https:\/\/www.best4pets.in\/products\/blue-emperor-tetra-jumbo-pair","provider":"Best4Pets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
