Bleeding Hearts Or Cardinals?

[Bashy]

Hi,

Looking at eventually adding a small shoal of 6 tetra's in a couple of weeks.
Would you recommend bleedig hearts or cardinals? Or any other's I have overlooked that are nice and colourful.
Cheers

Both nice but cardinals look great in a planted tank.

There's loads of options for good little schooling fish. Harlequins or espei rasboras, rummy nose tetras, emperor tetras, ember tetras just to name a few.

i vote for cardinals, most visual bang for your bucks.

I've just read that Bleeding hearts can be kept in pairs...so could I get a shoal of cardinals and a pair of BH?

i have cardinals they look so cool and if u have a moonlight bar/bulb they stand out beautifully

Hi, bleeding hearts need to be in groups not pairs they are not monogamist fish in the least they just scatter eggs with anyone thats passing. Given the other fish you have I would go for the bleeding hearts I bet they would look good against your black ruby barbs

If you don't have any fish that have blue colouring, then I would definitely go with the cardinals. Any tetra tank without cardinals just isn't proper, lol. If you have neons, then go with the bleeding hearts...or swap out the neons for cardinals!

Bleeding Hearts.

Look great in a planted tank with a dark substrate as mine are.
