The Blue Emperor Tetra (Inpaichthys kerri) is a stunning schooling fish from the upper Aripuanã River basin in Brazil. Males are particularly eye-catching, displaying a deep iridescent blue body with a bold black lateral stripe and vivid yellow-orange fins — a colour combination that rivals even the most celebrated tetras. A relatively peaceful and hardy species that adds a dramatic splash of colour to any planted community aquarium.

Easy as from start to finish. Great pricing,selection & correspondence. A+++
These guys came all healthy and well shipped. Was impressed with the service considering how difficult shipping live animals is. I was a little hesitant to buy online, feeling I could be adding more stress to their lives being shipped again, but all my fish arrived robust and happy.
Chloe and team have always been very friendly, as well as efficient and passionate about what they do.
Have nothing but good things to say :)
