For best results, keep Blue Emperor Tetras in a group to maximize color and behavior. Pair them with other peaceful small species such as neon tetras, rasboras, dwarf gouramis, and bottom-dwelling catfish or loaches that won’t disrupt their schooling. Regular water changes and stable parameters will help maintain their striking color and vibrant personality, making the Blue Emperor Tetra a standout centerpiece for any beginner to intermediate freshwater hobbyist.
