That having been said, I prefer cardinals because they are not so common, and aren't as inbred. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001	[vote]Cardinals [/vote] Neons are far too inbred and therefore vector for too many infections and diseases because of a weakened immune system. I wouldn't ever put them in my tank again. By the way, tryst, way to run an unbiased poll. Joe Potato

Racso Mega Fish Some Assembly Required Posts: 1163 Kudos: 1442 Votes: 35 Registered: 19-Feb-2002	[vote]Cardinals [/vote] Cardinals are KNOWN to be stronger fish than neons. Neons are KNOWN for dying. Bill Wymer (phD in marine biology) even says neons are weak fish. Also, cardinals are more colorful. Neons are like cardinal wanna-bes

dnrfleener Hobbyist Posts: 58 Kudos: 31 Votes: 0 Registered: 20-Aug-2004	[vote]Neons [/vote] WOW! I didn't realize that neons weren't very well liked! My neons have been w/me since well January and so far (knock on wood) I've had no problems. I like my neons and wouldn't trade them for anything. They are bright, friendly and a very nice addition to my tank. Robin

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	[vote]Cardinals [/vote] Better color. The rest is just details. Okay, better reasons: seem to have better health, less likely to be farmed under extreme conditions (hiiiiigh heat, hormone food, etc), don't carry NTD (yet), and better color. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

xxmrbui3blesxx Fish Master Posts: 1760 Kudos: 905 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Nov-2001	Considering prices and availability, neons are more worth it in my opinion. To the untrained eye, most people don't know the difference. I would not spend $40 more just to have a fish in which the red stripe is half an inch longer.

Puggle Enthusiast Posts: 224 Kudos: 133 Votes: 0 Registered: 19-Feb-2004	[vote]Cardinals [/vote] I have cardinals and neons, and I'd have to say the cardinals are nicer. They have much better colour, and so far none of them have died. The price is a problem though. They're about $10 each here (similar price to a female betta or small clown loach), so to get a proper school of them is rather expensive. I got mine on special

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	[vote]Cardinals [/vote] I like cardinals better because they are hardier and more attractive. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	its a pity cardinals are 4x the price of neons Really? At the LFS I work at they are the exact same price as neons. They are $2.99 or for six or more, $2.49. Those are the large ones... Our small ones are $0.99. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

synodontis Fish Master Posts: 1403 Kudos: 2000 Votes: 1099 Registered: 02-Oct-2003	yep neons cost $2.00 and cards cost $7 (close enough to 4x the price). and i can get baby neons for $1 cfd -------------------------- Billy was a scientist, Billy is no more. For what he thought was H20, was H2SO4

xxmrbui3blesxx Fish Master Posts: 1760 Kudos: 905 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Nov-2001	Come to think of it, most LFS's around here won't even guarantee cardinals due to their sensitive nature.

Week End Big Fish Posts: 414 Kudos: 436 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-May-2004	[vote]Neons [/vote] cheaper, therefore can afford bigger school

poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	Neons and Cards are both dirt cheap here. Cards are usually cheaper than Neons here, too... The most expensive card I've ever seen for sale 'round here was $1.49, or buy 5 and get them all for $5
