Water Temperature: 23 - 27 degrees Celsius or even higher
Rare Rating: 1 STAR

Floating plants that dims the light a bit is recommended. Keeping a single Cardinal tetra is not a good idea, since the fish will feel much better in a school of at least 10 individuals. A school of these small but colourful fishes will also look better than just one single and shy Cardinal tetra.
