Cardinal Tetra

Cardinal Tetra

Cardinal Tetras are a stunning schooling fish, prized for their vibrant electric blue stripe and brilliant red colouring that runs the length of their body. Their striking colours and peaceful nature make them a favourite among aquarists and a standout addition to planted community aquariums.

These active fish feel most secure in groups of 6 or more and display their best colours when kept in a well-maintained aquarium with plants, driftwood, and subdued lighting. They mix well with other peaceful community species and create an impressive display when kept in larger schools.
