    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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

    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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.

    Re: Inpaichthys kerri

    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
