(Other members of the genus Inpaichthys)
ADULT SIZE: 5 cm
WATER CONDITIONS: Neutral
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 23-27 C
FOOD: Feed Inpaichthys kerri small live-foods and fine grade dried foods
DISTRIBUTION: This species comes from Brazil
AQUARIUM CARE: This gorgeous tetra likes a loosely planted tank, dark, but with some open water for swimming. Easy to keep and not fussy about food, a great addition to most community tanks. Not to be confused with the similar Nematobrycon palmeri, also sometimes referred to as the Emperor tetra.
BREEDING: Male Emperor tetras defend small territories in which they breed. Adult fish should be removed, and the fry fed on newly hatched artemia nauplii.

Sorry no records.
Vegetarian fish Some catfish have a largely vegetarian diet; feed them potato, lettuce, cucumber or blanched peas. Some of these will have to be weighted down, or held in place with a commercially available lettuce grip (magnetic clips are far better than suction types). As with all fish, do not over feed; remove uneaten vegetable matter after a couple days
