Cardinal tetra's red line goes all the waythrough it's body covering it belly also. A neon's red bar starts from it's Caudal fin and extends to it's Belly.
There is also a size difference:
Cardinal Tetra's- 1.6 to 1.8in (4 to 4.5cm)
Neon Tetra's - 2.2in (5cm)

Hope i helped!

I should clarify that my posting links was not an attempt to be rude or to indicate people should search before posting. I just knew where the info was, so I gave a link instead of re-inventing the wheel again. Not to mention I don't like tetras, so i'm worthless when it comes to tetra facts.
