Emperor Tetra : Care, Diet and Tank Mates

Best Aquarium Size for Black Emperor Tetra's:

A minimum capacity of 50 liters to accommodate a small school of Black Emperor Tetras. A larger tank will allow for a more natural swimming space and better water quality.

Black Emperor Tetra Tank Mate Compatibility:

Emperor Tetras are social fish and thrive when kept in a school of at least six individuals. Emperor Tetras are generally peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful community fish. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.

 

Black Emperor Tetra Diet & Feeding：

Black Emperor Tetras are omnivorous and readily accept a variety of foods. Provide a balanced diet consisting of high-quality flake or pellet food. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia to enhance their coloration and provide enrichment.


Black Emperor Tetra Tank Setup

  • Substrate: Choose a fine gravel or sand substrate to mimic their natural habitat.
  • Plants: Include live or artificial plants to provide cover and create a natural environment. Black Emperor Tetras appreciate dense vegetation, so consider adding floating plants as well.
  • Lighting: Provide moderate lighting to support plant growth while allowing for shaded areas in the aquarium.
  • Filtration and Water Quality: Use a quality filtration system to maintain water cleanliness and remove waste. A combination of mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration is recommended.
  • Heater : A heater would be necessary if the winter temperature is too low in your state of Australia.
