The
Emperor tetra (Nematobrycon palmeri) belongs to the most popular
species of tetra at all. The fish found in the ornamental fish trade are
almost exclusively bred ones. The species originates from Colombia.
Wild collected specimens can be seen here: http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/news/nematobrycon_palmeri_wild_en/
Due
to the great demand the breeders usually sell their fish at a
comparatively small size already. But currently we received really fully
grown specimens which have a total length of almost 5 cm: These fish
are simply wonderful!
For our customers: the animals have code 272614 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
