They are super cool!!Amazoniantanklvr said:
I've only seen the black ones a couple times. I have a small lfs that specializes in unique and rare fish, rather than having a high quantity of fish. That's the only place I've seen them.

Yes I know. You can find them a couple places online if you are up for shipping.Amazoniantanklvr said:
I have like 6 local fish stores with huge variety. And only ever saw them at any of those stores once over the last few years. You just don't see them at the stores very often.

Yes. I'm pretty spoiled here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota)Amazoniantanklvr said:
I mean....they aren't a 5 minute drive or anything. The furthest one is about 30 minutes tops. The closest is about 10 minutes. The rest somewhere in between.
My absolute favorite is about 15 minutes away.

How long have you had your kerris? Did you find they went more purple when they settled in or do they only display those colours at certain times? I.e when competing in a shoal?Craig_84 said:As requested

My favorite of the Emperor Tetras is the Red Eye or Rainbow Emperor, Nematobrycon lacortei:
It is also my nemesis when it comes to breeding them, as I have tried repeatedly and failed. Males are highly aggressive.
I've bred regular Emperor Tetras once, a very long time ago:
I've had some Blacks, but I never got around to trying to breed them:
Inpaichthys kerri I've bred several times. It is very easy, as it's really just another tetra that happens to have a similar color scheme to the Emperor:
As far as looking "purple", it seems to be a trick of the lighting. Certain angles give it that color, but often it just has a strong, overall blue sheen.
