Have a hard look at the color stripes on a neon tetra and a cardinal tetra. The blue and red stripes go almost the full length of a cardinal tetra while being an obvious part length on the neons. Although both require about the same water conditions, they are quite separate species.
We have a cardinal tetra thread here in the species index.
There is a neon tetra thread here in the species index.
When you look at one right after the other with the color stripe length in mind the difference becomes obvious.
