Cardinals or neons?

i like them both the same. neons are cheap and they stay very small, but they dont ahve as much color as cards. cardinals have more color than neons, but they get a little bigger (ok... maybe im just being fastidious here, but when your stocking a six gallon, the smallest fish are best) and are also most expensive.

i saw some columbians at Petsmart and they are really tight schoolers. to bad i dont ahve a spare 20 long. i wouldve gotten all 15. red eyes are pretty cool too and they are also tight schoolers.
 
they are both pretty and cheap so get what is healthiest and most readily available. I have both and they school together....Keeps you on your toes to notice who is whom~
 
It's called Neon Tetra Disease. Not Cardinal Tetra Disease. Cards are more particular about water quality, but they don't just randomly die on you.

CARDNIALS WINS - lets be honest. We all like fish that arent crossinbread in farms to be way to small and feeble for thier own good. Its one fish that should stop being an aquaium fish.
 
Cardinals but they are $3.99 from my local Petsmart. So I decided to get 10 Neons for a buck each.
