The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Some of these fish, like many of their relatives, are kept as aquarium pets and known collectively as tetras.
- With around 150 described species and new ones being described yearly, this genus is among the largest of the entire order, Hyphessobrycon also has more than 145 species and which one is larger at any one time depends on whether more species have been recently described in one or the other.
- The blind and colorless cave tetra of Mexico is a famous member of the genus, but its taxonomic position is disputed: Some recognize it as part of the Mexican tetra and this is supported by phylogenetic evidence, but others recognize the cave form as a separate species, A. jordani.

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
