The Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi) is one of the most iconic and visually stunning freshwater fish in the aquarium hobby, celebrated for its brilliant, iridescent electric-blue stripe running parallel to a fiery, full-length red belly.

Short Description & Highlights

The Cardinal Tetra (approx. 0.8–1.2 inches / 2–3 cm) is a peaceful, active schooling species native to the warm, soft-water blackwater streams of the Amazon basin. While often compared to the traditional Neon Tetra, the Cardinal Tetra features a continuous red stripe extending across its entire lower body, creating a striking contrast that illuminates planted community aquariums.
