Cardinal Tetra L

Cardinal Tetra’s are often confused with the Neon Tetra. They have similar red and blue markings running the length of their bodies, but with the Cardinal’s they are a lot bolder, and more defined. These very attractive, peaceful, and lively mid/top-water swimming Characins, will grow up to 5cm long and look best when kept in high numbers. Keep in an aquarium at least 60cm long and provide lots of plants and an open swimming area and good water movement. Will live quite happily with other peaceful fish and feed a mix of flakes, granules, and frozen tropical foods. Cardinal Tetras are a very popular dither fish for Discus keepers.
