beautiful fish...as sensitive as rummynose....with a bad reputation of going belly up for no reason at all.......anyone who kept blue emperor care to share their experience?[:0]

some start starving for no apparent reason
possibly because they were outcompeted for food by their cousins, the normal emperors

emperors are very obvious when compared to blue emperors
for 1, look at the tail
emperors will have an extensionin the middle of the forked caudal fin as opposed to a normal fork for blue emperors
