Ya nice fishes. They're indeed blue purplish body and faint orange finnages for the male. Female not as colourful.
Polyart do stock them regularly. Sold under the name blue emperor tetra.
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
Thanks for the info.

I was cleaning my tank, stripping off mass of taiwan moss, and to my surprise I saw a young Inpaichthys kerri.
Its about 7mm long. Im not sure how long it has been hiding within the thick moss and only been able to spot one.

Hehe. Beginner's luck. But there were reports that they're easy spawners. My only unspawned fish now is Dicrossus Maculatus which I've gotten from you. But it's doing very well.

I bought 13 Inpaichthys kerri yesterday and I'm down to 4 today
the remaining ones aren't looking too good and i think they won't last very long. Probably a bad batch. The rummy nose tetras and Rasbora dorsiocellata I bought together with them are eating and swimming actively. or maybe Inpaichthys kerri have special requirements i'm not aware of
Where did you purchase your fish from?
I bought quite alot too and plenty just die off within a month, all from Polyart. But my remaining ones are the strong and stable.

yeah I'm down to one now
but he seems pretty stable too. maybe they don't ship well. any other LFS that stock them regularly? I might want to try out a few more since the solitary remaining one seems pretty lonely
Lee,
Do you find that these fishes school well for you?
Hard to tell as I have at least 15 of them in a 2ft tank and it seems they're well scattered but still closely within the tank.
During feeding time all cluster together near surface and occasionally they'll swim together.
They're not shy to the extend of hiding.
And I thought they fit in quite well for your scape.

ya.. i'm thinking of them but i'm not too sure if they are good schoolers by nature. it seems like they are more like..danios? haha.
These aren't a schooling Tetra. They behave just like regular Emperor Tetras.
I think you would have much better success if you kept them in a quarantine tank and feed them mostly live foods before you placed them in a display tank.
Old fish breeder. SA Dwarf Cichlids, Hypancistrus sp L260, L333 and Peckoltia L134 breeder. Also Sturisoma, Dwarf Corydoras spp, wild Discus and Killiefish. Like breeding Characins and wild Betta spp too.
They're delicate fishes with quite high mortality rates. They don't school very well despite been in a planted 2ft tank(read small). Their colours will shows up better in a tank that is not so brightly lighted and with ph hovering around mid 6.
The role of master and servant begin to cloud in the water..
Would they school in a larger tank? I'm thinking of getting about 20 for my 4x2x2
they just shoal loosely, the colours might not show as nicely in a 4x2x2.They always look nicer in close up photographs
