Joe Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hey everyone, I've found Nematobrycon palmeri (Emperor Tetra) to be a very hardy fish, and they are also very colourful and active, and easy to care for, and I have developed an interest for Nematobrycon sp. I have always been aware of Nematobrycon lacortei (Rainbow Tetra), but I've never really thought about keeping them, so I'd like to give them a go. But are N. lacortei in New Zealand at all? If so, where is the best place to source them, and what is the average price for them? Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Surely somebody must know whether these are in New Zealand or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 there are a few fish called emperor tetra palmeri i have had before they like lots of plants and low light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've got Emperors and they're really cool. Rainbow Tetras grow to about the size of Emperors, and their care/breeding is very similar. So their size is probably around 5-7cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
