Expert Answer

Cardinal tetras glow from pigment deposits in their bodies and light reflection. To enhance this, give them 1-2 hours of light daily to boost photoreceptor activity and brighter color.

To make the color more vivid, also feed color-enhancing formula and live foods like bloodworms and tubifex.
