Neons Vs Cardinal Tetra

[mic8310]

is there a difference?! the neons look a little smaller to me an thats about it!

 

[Truck]

the neons have a red stripe that stops about 3 quarters of the way down the body, but a cardinals is all the way. and ive found the cardinals are or can be slimmer

 

[rollntider]

cardinals also get a bit larger

 

[Carp4U]

Cardinals grow slightly bigger about half a cm, are hardier and can be kept with bigger fish. The red stripe extends all down the fish, i have found cardinals to be more reflective.
