Golden Emperor Tetra Nematobrycon Palmeri 3cm

Overview: The Golden Emperor Tetra, scientifically known as Nematobrycon palmeri, is a stunning freshwater fish admired for its shimmering golden hue and elegant fins. This peaceful and active tetra brings a regal touch to any community aquarium, making it a popular choice among aquarists.

Origin: Native to the slow-moving rivers and streams of western Colombia, the Golden Emperor Tetra thrives in densely vegetated waters with plenty of cover and subdued lighting. This species is a variant of the more common Emperor Tetra, selectively bred for its golden coloration.

Feeding: Golden Emperor Tetras are omnivorous and should be fed a balanced diet that includes high-quality flake or pellet foods, along with live or frozen treats such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. A varied diet will help maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.

Tank Mates: These peaceful tetras are ideal for community tanks and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive fish such as other tetras, rasboras, guppies, and small catfish like Corydoras. They do well in groups of six or more, which helps them feel secure and display their best colors.

Aggression: Golden Emperor Tetras are generally peaceful and exhibit very little aggression. Males may display mild territorial behavior, especially during breeding, but this is usually harmless and easily managed by providing ample space and plant cover.

Experience Level: Beginner to Intermediate. Due to their hardy nature and easygoing temperament, Golden Emperor Tetras are suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists. They adapt well to a variety of tank conditions and are relatively low-maintenance.

Water Parameters: To keep Golden Emperor Tetras healthy and thriving, maintain water temperatures between 72-82°F (22-28°C), a pH of 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water (5-12 dGH). Regular water changes and monitoring of water quality are essential for their well-being.

In summary, the Golden Emperor Tetra is a radiant and peaceful species that adds elegance and beauty to any community aquarium. With their easygoing nature and striking appearance, they are a rewarding choice for aquarists of all experience levels.
