I know Cardinal Tetra's love planted tanks. I'm just wondering if they will do well in a non-planted tank. AT the moment I have some plants in the tank, low light plants, but not sure If I am going to stay that route.

I'd really like some Cardinals though, but want them to be happy.
any suggestions?
Thanks
 
Cardinals are just bigger more colorful neon tetras. They do best in Soft acidic water with plants and bog wood. Any tank will do above 5 gallons. Though many will disagree with this I recomend at least a 30 gallon for Cardinal Tetras. They love large schools where they can live happy lives. My favorite tetras setup is a 65 gallon with 20 Cardinal Tetras, 20 Rummynose Tetras and 2 Curviceps. They all look briliant together. I do not use the 1 inch per gallon rule. You can'/t put a 10 inch oscar in a 10 gallon tank
