Fish Crazy
interesting. from what ive read, cardinals are just as sensitive to water conditions. Plus, they are like 2-3X more expensive
Strange, I've read up a lot and the difference seems to be the look (the Cardinal have a red mark the full length of their underneath), the size (they get to 2" where the Neons grow to 1.5"), the price (more fish for more money I guess) and that they were a little more hardy than the Neons - oh and they are a little more harder to get hold of in fish suppliers.
This was also confirmed with a couple of well established people on this forum. It might be worth creating a fresh topic regarding just this. I'd love to find out the definitive answer.
It will be interesting as I'be near the end of my fishless cycle and I think I will post my wish list on the forum for people to comment on - fingers crossed eh
