#cardinal tetras

Not sure why they’re all hanging out at one end, but they sure look pretty.

I had cardinal tetras in this tank for a month or so to hold them for a friend and they were soooo pretty

My tetras pack hunted a cherry shrimp and I walked in on them fighting over the carcass and tearing it into (debatably) bite size chunks. This is a bit metal I cannot lie.

They're eyeing the other shrimps with intent. I wonder how much I ought to worry.

Video under cut for the interested. It's a bit gross. Nature red in tooth and claw in my fucking bedroom.

So story time: this tank has been in a state of semi-neglect for a while bc of depression/a couple fish deaths/all sorts of stuff. My school of fish has been pared down to my two cardinal tetras in my 20 gallon planted. Except for snails, this tank has ONLY housed those two cardinal tetras for about a month since their last two buddies died. They’ve been under standard but very minimal care (because again, your boy’s been depressed). I figured these two tetras would die eventually and have been kind of waiting on that so I could revamp the tank once I’m feeling better.

Buuuuut my tetras decided they had other plans!!! because today I discovered they have a baby!!! I only saw one so far, and I assume the rest of the egg clutch didn’t hatch into babies or the siblings died off, but check it out! I’m a fish dad again! And to egg-laying fish, which…yeah idk how I did that either! 😆🐠🐟
