New Cardinal Tetra Owner Seeking Advice?

Just welcomed a school of cardinal tetras to my planted tank. They're shimmering beauties, but I'm stumped on their diet preferences. During my last visit to the local fish store, the owner raved about how these tetras thrived in his tank. He mentioned a "secret diet" but wouldn't spill the beans. I'm eager to provide the best care for these new finned friends. Can you share some food recommendations for cardinal tetras?

Oh, diving into the cardinal tetra club, eh? Those little dazzlers can really turn a tank into a live disco with their shimmering vibes. Got a squad of them myself, and it's like watching a living lava lamp, minus the wax.Here's the tea on feeding them: variety is key. Think of them as the foodies of the fish world. A mix of high-quality flake food, brine shrimp, and daphnia keeps them groovin'. But, the real game-changer? A sprinkle of freeze-dried bloodworms or tubifex worms. My fish go bonkers for it!Funny story – tried experimenting with a "secret diet" after hearing a similar legend from my local fish whisperer. Let's just say, my attempt at homemade fish gourmet was more of a kitchen disaster than a culinary masterpiece. The fish were not impressed.Since we're sharing, stumbled upon this gem while trying to play detective on fish diets: https://www.allaquariumfish.com/is-your-glowlight-tetra-male-or-female Not exactly what we're talking about, but it's a treasure trove for anyone looking to get their geek on with tetra trivia.Anywho, give your new finned pals a buffet and watch them thrive. They'll be strutting their stuff in no time!
