Emperor Tetra

Dose anybody own or know much about these tetra's i own four of these although i find that they are very shy or like to hide in one spot most of the time.

couldn't really find it on the fishlore FW list or forum.

I"ve had Emperors. They can be skittish and shy if the tank is too bright and there's no plants. The heavier the planting, the more relaxed they are, IME.

I would add some real plants around the sides and back, leaving room for swimming in the middle. driftwood is good too, since if you don't want to grow plants in the substrate you can tie bunches of Java fern to the wood and it will form dense clumps the tetras will like.
