Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi) (Each)

📝 Description:

The Cardinal Tetra is a beautiful and peaceful freshwater fish loved for its bright red and blue colors. Similar to the Neon Tetra but slightly larger, it adds vibrant movement and energy to any community aquarium. These active schooling fish prefer to stay in groups of six or more and get along well with other small, non-aggressive tankmates.

Cardinal Tetras adapt well to tank life and thrive in clean, soft, slightly acidic water. A balanced diet of flakes, pellets, and occasional frozen foods will keep their colors glowing and their health strong.
