Vietnamese Cardinal Minnow
This is an ideal species for the smaller temperate aquarium and should be maintained in groups of at least 6 specimens (10+ is better) due to their shoaling nature. This will not only make them less nervous, but it will result in a more effective, natural-looking display.
