Cardinal tetras are often kept and enjoyed as a beautiful aquarium fish. Because of their peaceful nature, cardinal tetras are highly recommended for tanks with more than one species of fish. Most of the cardinal tetras sold come straight from South America because of the difficulty of breeding them in nature; between the years 1977 and 1981, an average of 12 to 17 million cardinal tetras were exported annually.
