Blue King Tetra

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air. The Blue King Tetra is a stunning freshwater fish that can add a vibrant pop of color to your aquarium. With its bright blue scales and unique patterns, it is sure to be a showstopper. As a member of the Boehlkea fredcochui species, this fish is known for its resilience and adaptability, making it a great addition to any aquatic ecosystem. Like most Tetras, we recommend keeping these guys in groups of 5 or more for them to feel safe in a large school. They will look especially stunning in a planted tank. These fish are adult shrimp-safe, however, we recommend having sufficient plants or hiding spots in the aquarium for shrimplets.  Blue King Tetra are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at: Our Tank Water Parameters PH: 7.2 to 7.5 GH: 7 to 8 KH: 3 to 4 TDS: 180 to 250 Temp: 72 to 75 We feed them a mix of live baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and high-quality flake food.
