Like the new fish but you should probably know what the fish are before you buy them like the new fish i cant identify the fish either but when you find out could you let me know because i want to get some to put in my planted tank.

That wouldn't be a problem if I spoke Japanese, which I don't. I figured out that they were blue emperor and penguin tetras

Nematobrycon palmeri   Popular name,Emperor Tetra 

              Length,Male 2",Females 1 1/4"         Colombia,S.A.

Thiz species waz introduced to aquarists in the early 60's. A black line runnin' from the eye to the pedunclecaudal fades / picks up again to reach the center point of the three-tined tail.The edge of the tapered dorsal iz accented along the upper edge/the tines of the tail,anal/ventral fins are similarly outlined.These markins'alone give the species a peculiar beauty but the blue/red shadings that follow the black body line are particularly exquisite,/the faintly yellow fins with edges finely terminating in black made thiz fish one superb subtle beauty.The females carry the same distinguishin' features but are less vividly colored.

Thiz iz a relatively hardy fish,/itz water requirements are not critical.A few days of live-food feedins' seem to promote spawnin' activity,but for a successful group spawnin',the males should be of equal size.One large will have a tendency to herd the females away from others.Mops or floatin' bunch plants such az Nitella of myriophyllum may be used az  a spawnin' medium.The male attracts the female by tremblin' movements,/here his graceful finnage comes into play.The actual spawnin' takes place when the male pursues the female into a mop or floatin' plant/az the fish emerge,the eggs are expelled.

The eggs are difficult to see but within three days after becomin' free-swimmin' the young are ready to take brine shrimp.Growth iz rapid/raisin' thiz delicately beautiful fish iz rewardin'.

I have 17 my friend,3 males & 14 females funtime in tha tank.
