Species Spotlight: Cardinal Tetra
In this episode, "Species Spotlight: Cardinal Tetra", the Gettin’ Fishy crew explore the vibrant little cardinal tetra! A mainstay in the hobby for many years, many cardinal tetras are actually wild caught. Yes, these fish are so abundant and such fast reproducers that fishing for them is very sustainable! We also discuss Project Piaba, a non profit focused on keeping this economy alive in the Amazon river basin as market competition has risen in Southeast Asia. Come learn a little about these tiny jewels of South America! This podcast is brought to you by the comb wrasse. If you see these fish in the wild, you would see instantly why they got their name. They can often be found in the pockets of distinguished gentlemen or grooming the upper lip of mustachioed royalty. Cousins of the cleaner wrasse, the comb wrasse also clean parasites and dead bits from larger fish. But they do it in such debonair attire. Cheers to you, fancy comb wrasse.
