The
Cardinal Tetra, Paracheirodon axelrodi, is a freshwater fish of the characin
family (family Characidae) of order Characiformes. The Cardinal Tetra brings
delicate beauty to any home freshwater aquarium. It is native to the upper
Orinoco and
It
has a bright blue stripe contrasted by a lower red stripe that runs the entire
length of its body. This coloration differs from its cousin, the Neon Tetra,
which has a red stripe that runs only halfway down the body. Equally as
peaceful as Neon Tetras, Paracheirodon axelrodi will school together for a
brilliant display of activity and color to dress small to large aquarium
systems.
