cardinalfish

I have a 2 inch Pajama Cardinal fish that has been with me for a couple years, he's the only cardinal fish in my 5 foot 125 gallon tank and doesn't bother anyone. I thought about getting a group of 6 Banggai Cardinals for the tank, but will the Pajama Cardinal be aggressive and territorial...

Hi, boyfriend picked up a Pseudocheilinus evanidus that was misidentified as a different type of fairy wrasse. His plan was to put him in a 40b with a banggai Cardinalfish but after learning it’s similar to a six line wrasse he’s convinced it’s going to kill/hurt the cardinal. The only info I’ve...

I just purchased a replacement Cathedral fish as one was killed by my forest fire anenome and my replacement one loves sitting right in arms reach of the anenome!!! I have tried to move it many times and it moves for 2 seconds and come straight back to the same spot, his only a baby i don't...

In the process of getting a new bedroom tank set up.. 20 gallons, wider than it is tall Thoughts: 1) been there done that with the clownfish pairing, have a pair in my downstairs 125 gallon so not too fussed about going down the clownfish route. 2) I don’t mind the sand sifting goby’s, but...

I have a Bluestreak Cardinal pair and one has been gradually losing swimming stability. I do not believe this to be parameter, disease or parasite related. I have had these cardinals for multiple years, have not added anything new to the system in over a year, test all parameters regularly...

Hey Everyone! I got these two Banggai’s about 4 days ago. I have them in a 15Gal quarantine tank. I’ve noticed nothing wrong with them other than the one smaller guy has no interest in any food. The bigger one goes at mysis like it’s his job but the small one always darts after it but never...

In our work tanks I have a school of 6 red spot cardinals (apogon parvulus, but some sources say ostorhinchus parvulus?) and one of them has a fat mouth full of eggs! He(?) briefly spat them out partially and immediately pulled them back in so I did get a visual confirmation on them, theyre...

Hey guys thought you might like this little video I put together of the Biocube. My cardinals have done this one other time and we had little babies swimming around however the male got hungry unfortunately. Enjoy.

The Yellow Striped Cardinalfish is an underrated species that really bring a lot of activity and color to an aquarium. In house, they are being fed an array of Nutramar Foods and frozen meaty foods. What is your favorite species of Cardinalfish? Yellow Striped Cardinals have a very wide...

Hey guys… I took my chances on 3 Bangaii Cardinals for my 310 gallon which will be a mixed reef, only about 12 corals and a nem in the tank right now. They were being sold fully quarantined as a trio. They arrived small/juveniles back in late September. Been in the tank now since then. But just...

Could one pajama cardinalfish go in a 16 gallon biocube?

I love Cardinalfish! their angular shape, their colours, their unique behaviors. understand my surprise when i find that there isnt a whole lot about theses guys on the internet (exept the pyjama and the bangai) i have a 55 gallon tank with three pyjamas, 3 bangais and 3 longspine cardinalfish...

I got this guy 6 days ago and he has been swimming around and not eating, which I figured he was stressed or had eggs in his mouth or something. I'm feeding HIKARI BIO-PURE Spirulina mysis and brine shrimp twice a day. My two baby clowns are doing fine and so is my cleaner shrimp and corals. But...

Hey all! I recently acquired 2 banggai cardinalfish which I believe to be a male and female. I’ve only had them home for a few days, but I’ve noticed every once and a while they will do this behavior. One will pause, fold it’s fins over and turn slightly, and then yawn. Occasionally the other...

I am interested in hearing other people's cardinal fish experience. If you have experience with longspine cardinal fish or yellow stripe cardinal fish I would definitely like to hear your experience. At first I was sold on Seale's cardinals but seeing other options have made me have second...

Hi everyone, here I am again asking for help. I noticed today that there are some transparent bubbles on my cardinalfish's left side. The fish was staying most of the time in the corner of the tank ( quits the corner sometimes ) since a few days but I didn't think much of it because it actually...

I am ready to add some more fish to my reef. It has been running since September of 2019, but after losing my SPS corals, I am doing a reboot. I reworked some of the aquascape to be more open for better flow. My current fish are one Sailfin Tang, one Chocolate Tang, one Foxface, one...

I received 2 longspine cardinalfish from LiveAquaria yesterday - they seemed healthy but as I was getting them acclimated I noticed this white stringy poop - which sent me on a tailspin of going out and buying a quarantine tank and now Im trying to figure out where I go from here. Does this...

I bought supposedly 2 males and 1 female Cardinalfish (attached images below), however im a little less convinced and would like a second opinion if thats at all possible. Male Male Female Any help would be appreciated :)

I purchased two black and white cardinals a month or so ago. I recently added a wrasse, and while I thought the royal gamma would pick the wrasse apart, they acclimated very well. Fast forward a few weeks and I notice one of my cardinal is hiding anywhere it can find, top fins chewed off. As I...

Hello! We are newbie and been in this hobby for a couple of months. We started with a really small tank (Tank #1) with a coral and live rock from the pet shop. Then now we have a bigger tank (Tank #2) which we added all the fishes but no coral in it. The bigger tank was set up 2 weeks ago...

Thank you first off for reading and your possible help in this situation! I am getting a 125gal set up. Right now just going over some fish just so I can have a mock plan for the future. Will not be getting any fish till at least 2 months or more from now, as I will be doing a very deep clean...

This cardinalfish is between 6-8 years old. It’s fins have been ragged for about 3 months. I removed all fish to treat for a couple ich spots occasionally seen on a tang. It went through a round of kanaplex with a wrasse that had eye damage/infection before cp. Pj was in cp with 11 other fish...

Thinking about getting some Banggai Cardinals and see if I can breed them for fun. How do I know if they are male or female when I head to my lfs. Thanks!
