Cardinal Tetra Paracheirodon Axelrodi 2cm

“Meet the stunning Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi), a vibrant gem adorning freshwater tanks worldwide. Originating from the blackwater tributaries of the Amazon Basin, these dazzling fish captivate with their shimmering blue and cardinal red hues, creating a captivating display in planted tanks.

Feeding these omnivores is a breeze as they readily accept high-quality flake, freeze-dried, or live foods. Their peaceful nature makes them excellent tankmates for other small, non-aggressive species like small tetras, rasboras, and peaceful dwarf cichlids. However, due to their small size, it’s best to avoid housing them with larger or aggressive fish.

Cardinal Tetras boast a tranquil demeanor, exhibiting minimal aggression, making them suitable for beginner to intermediate aquarists. To ensure their well-being, maintain stable water conditions with temperatures around 72-80°F (22-27°C), a pH between 5.0-7.0, and soft, slightly acidic water.

These fish not only elevate the aesthetic appeal of any tank but also offer a delightful and peaceful aquatic experience for hobbyists of all levels.”
