Evaluate the article
The introductory sentence of this article is concise and makes it clear to the reader that cardinal tetras are the topic. The lead provides a brief roadmap of what will be detailed later in the article's dedicated sections. However, the topic of wild caught cardinal tetras was talked about for nearly half of the lead and had no dedicated section later in the article. All content included in this article is related to the main topic of cardinal tetras. There is more information about cardinal tetras that could be included in the article, but nothing appears to be out of date. The article is neutral as of right now, however, on the Talk page, it was mentioned that at one point the article was biased against keeping wild-caught tetras in the home aquarium. That issue seems to have been resolved. The section of the lead detailing wild caught tetras could be expanded and needs its own section later in the article with the rest of the mentioned topics brought to the readers' attention in the lead. Sections in the article seem well organized and in a logical order (taxonomy -> description -> distribution -> feeding -> lifespan/breeding). The distribution and description sections could be switched for a more cohesive order, but the way it is now is okay. There is only one picture in this article and as far as I can tell, the image is in accordance with copyright regulations. The image is placed in an appropriate place in the article and is visually appealing. I saw no grammatical or spelling errors. The links in the article work. As mentioned earlier, the Talk page mentioned a previous bias against wild caught fish (which has since been resolved). There was also an incident where the page was edited to be about Pokemon (Pikachu), but was fixed afterwards. Overall, I feel like the article is competent but not as detailed as it could be. Typical temperament and behaviors of the cardinal tetra could be mentioned, compatible tank mates could be its own section, preferred water parameters could be added, common health problems could become its own section, and as mentioned earlier, the article should add a section about wild caught vs captive bred individuals.
