Cardinal tetras in your fishtank: the popular neon fish at a glance<\/h1>\n

Cardinal tetras are probably the most popular tetras in aquarium history. No wonder you bring, thanks to its unique shimmering blue-red painting, a colourful mood into every fishtank. The cardinal tetras are not only handsome, but also easily become friends with typical us water values and are very easy to socialize with other species. However, it is important to distinguish the Cardinal tetras from the very similar red neon tetras and the blue neons. Especially the blue neon looks for colder basins and the neon tetra defines territories and defends them. Both types are therefore not exactly the best candidates for every community fishtank. The three species differ by just a half or a whole red line and therefore it is not surprising that badly informed aquarists quickly turn to the wrong species and become unhappy with it. In the following article we provide you a lot of information about keeping, demands on water and breeding\u00a0Cardinal tetras.
