Cardinal Tetra:
Cardinal Tetras are loved for their peaceful temperament and striking red and blue coloration. These small, social fish do best in schools of 6 or more and thrive in well-planted tanks that provide plenty of swimming space and gentle water flow. Hardy and easygoing, they prefer stable, clean water and make excellent community fish alongside other non-aggressive species.
