{"product_id":"tetra-cardinal-sl","title":"Tetra - Cardinal","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003eCardinal Tetra\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the most iconic and visually stunning freshwater fish in the aquarium hobby. Famous for its brilliant, iridescent blue horizontal stripe situated above a vivid, solid red stripe that runs the full length of its body, the Cardinal Tetra creates a spectacular \"neon\" effect. Unlike the similar Neon Tetra, the Cardinal’s red coloration extends from the nose all the way to the tail, offering a deeper and more continuous saturation of color. These peaceful schooling fish are at their best when kept in groups of six or more, where they display natural shoaling behavior and a shimmering collective movement. They are particularly favored by aquascapers, as their electric colors \"pop\" dramatically against the green backdrop of live aquatic plants and dark substrates. While they prefer soft, slightly acidic water, they are a rewarding species that brings a sense of life and tranquility to any established community tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQuick Care \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e🐠 Scientific name:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"20\"\u003eParacheirodon axelrodi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e📦 Selling unit:\u003c\/b\u003e Available in schools (6, 10, or 20 count recommended)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e📍 Swimming level:\u003c\/b\u003e Mid-water\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e💡 Lighting:\u003c\/b\u003e Subdued to moderate (best for showcasing iridescence)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e🌱 Temperament:\u003c\/b\u003e Peaceful; schooling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e🍽 Diet:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnivore (high-quality micro-granules, crushed flakes, and frozen baby brine shrimp)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,6,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e🌡 Water temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 23–29°C (73–84°F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,7,0\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e🐟 Tank type:\u003c\/b\u003e Established planted tanks and peaceful community setups\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aquaplantz","offers":[{"title":"S - (2 - 2.5cm) \/ 5 Pic","offer_id":48069480448152,"sku":"FSH-TETCAR-S5","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S - (2 - 2.5cm) \/ 10 Pic","offer_id":48102138642584,"sku":"FSH-TETCAR-S10","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S - (2 - 2.5cm) \/ 20 Pic","offer_id":48102138675352,"sku":"FSH-TETCAR-S20","price":48.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M - (3 - 3.5cm) \/ 5 Pic","offer_id":48028274622616,"sku":"FSH-TETCAR-M5","price":22.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M - (3 - 3.5cm) \/ 10 Pic","offer_id":48102138708120,"sku":"FSH-TETCAR-M10","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/3456\/8600\/files\/101A5A69-3F37-4F42-8A47-6198B5C78774.jpg?v=1769468576","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaplantz.com\/products\/tetra-cardinal-sl","provider":"Aquaplantz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
