Hello everyone, Cardinal Tetras are quite expensive and wondering if I should take my chances with Neon Tetras. Also the closest fish store that sells Cardinal Tetras is around 1 hour away from my house. Are Neon Tetras that bad?
Neon disease can be avoidable if you know the signs. If one starts to look off, separate it out before it dies, as it is only spread by eating the carcass.
To my knowledge, cardinals are much more finicky.
