Cardinal Tetra

The Cardinal Tetra is a great fish for a community aquarium and it's very popular as well. It is a little sensitive to an unkempt fish tank, but if you do regular maintenance, this fish will do very well. I looks very similar to a blue neon tetra but it is more red on the lower half of its body.

Cardinal Tetra Breeding:  Use a larger aquarium and keep the temperature about 75F. The PH should be about 5-6. Reduce the lighting by adding floating plants and put some moss, or fake moss, on the floor of the aquarium. After they lay the eggs the adults should be removed and the eggs should hatch in about a day. Feed the newly hatched fish regularly.
