I would get something a lot smaller than cardinal tetras if at all possible, which still leaves you with a lot of options in my opinion- Chili rasboras, spotted rasbora, blue neon rasbora, scarlet badis, endlers, ember tetras, and ruby tetras. If it's the coloring of the cardinal tetras that you like then green neon tetras would be much smaller option that looks similar.

Interesting question, I really don't know..

I've never thought about plant preferences surrounding water parameters. I've seen quite a few aquascape journals (many of which include dwarf hairgrass) and no ones ever mentioned adjusting the pH or temp in the interests of a particular plant.

What temp & pH were you aiming for to promote good growth with the grass?

Edited to add:
All the fish I mentioned should thrive in about the same parameters as cardinal tetras do

I was going to go like 70-83° F, KH 4-8, pH 6.5-7.5 and I think that will be good for the chili rasbora those are such cool fish thanks for mentioning those to me
