What Cardinalfish is this?

I ordered a few fish online recently and I believe we received the wrong type of Cardinalfish. They’re about 2” long.

Anyone have an idea which one these are?

Did you reach out to @LiveAquaria?

Yep. Total order was messed up. 4 fish of the wrong variety and nowhere near the size ordered. One doa. Two died within 2 days. At least they made it right. They refunded everything in the end.

Doesn't seem to be many decent pics online to compare against, but from what I saw this is possible. I guess I'll just refer to these as Mysterioso Cardinalfish if/until their coloring changes to something more obvious.

Stumbled onto one that seems a better fit this morning: Ostorhinchus oxina.
