Pyjama Cardinal

[RaymondL]

Reaching out here for feedback on Pyjama cardinals - I have a 10gallon Nuvo small tank - mainly for soft corals only, and was thinking to add some more interest to it with a fish, so came across a Pyjama cardinal yesterday. Can these fish be kept alone, or would a pair be too small for this tank?

Yes; I'd probably stick with just one for that size of tank, though.

They are nocturnal, so not very active before lights out. As a result you may find it quite a boring fish. Just a thought.

Yes- both good alone and in small groups. Unlike bangaii cardinals, they are more peaceful
