Only a short time after this wonderful new tetra has been given a name can we (almost) offer it. Inpaichthys parauapiranga was scientifically described in February 2024. Peter and Martin Hoffmann have successfully bred it and we will soon be able to offer these offspring. We are already looking forward to it!
They are peaceful and lively fish that have proven to be easy to keep. When fully grown, the animals measure around 4 cm in total length and are therefore about the same size as other king tetra species, although this species is somewhat more upright.
We suggest the trade name Purplestriped King Tetra because of the royal purple coloration of the longitudinal bands.
