Hi there,
I ordered what was supposed to be a Yellow-striped cardinalfish online from a vendor I won't mention unless they don't honor my original order.
I am nearly certain it is an Ochre-striped cardinalfish but wanted to run it past the experts. It is about 1 1/2" to 2". Engaging personality, currently in QT.
I have a 25 gallon reef I was planning to put the smaller cardinalfish in with a Pink-streaked wrasse, Yasha goby, and Red firefish. I read that these guys can get up to 4.7", but other places list it as not growing past 3". I'm assuming this guy is not a fit for that reef?
What are your thoughts on what it is and what I should do with it?
Thank you!
