These are a species of Cardinal I believe from the genus Apogon.

In terms of what species, it’s hard to say when geuren stressed and discoloured, have you got photos of them when in an established system and feeling secure?

Well they are in QT for now. Need to get them to adapt from live brine to frozen then pellet food hopefully over the next week or so.

This a match for your new additions?

BIOTA Seale's Cardinalfish

Biota Seale's Cardinalfish The Seale's cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus sealei) is relatively rare in the trade and even harder to obtain as captive-bred. These super hardy captive-bred specimens from Biota are great for reef aquaria of all sizes. In larger tanks, they may be kept in small shoals!

If I were in the states, I’d say bang on. But being in Hong Kong, we don’t have any biota raised fish at all.

That was just a picture example of the fish. I’m sure they are collected from the wild and sold from other vendors as well. You can use a search engine for the name (Seale’s Cardinalfish).

By the way, I’ve heard Hong Kong is amazing and have it on my wish list for travel someday.

For marine related stuff, you’d hate how we keep things. As apartments are minuscule, those that have fish tanks overstock like crazy.

BUT, pricing wise you’d be shocked. Black tangs the equivalent of USD1,000, flame angels USD90 etc.
