Hey all,
Just bought some cardinals for the tank a few days ago and upon observation, it seems I may have bought two species of cardinal tetras? Some of them have clear fins whilst some exhibit a white line on the dorsal and anal fin which was quite weird.
Some pictures:
What I would call a 'normal' cardinal
The 'weird' cardinals with white line on dorsal and anal.
With flash (note: red colour is full, the flash has distorted the colour)
3 of the 4 cardinals pictured here exhibit the white line on their dorsal and anal fins.
Has anyone noticed anything similar with their cardinals?
Or are these tetras not cardinals?
Cheers,
John
