ADOPT A FISH

Featuring the BANGGAI CARDINAL (Pterapogon kauderni)

Hi,  I am an elegant hardy Black & Silver Cardinalfish, I am very easy to get along with and will do well in your Reef tank.  In fact, I am one of the only fish that can

successfully breed in captivity. 

I get a little grouchy when crowded, so I prefer to be by myself or with 1 other Banggaii  in a small tank (20 gal), but if the tank is larger (or large) I will behave with group of my own kind.  I behave best in a large tank, what can I say ... I like a big house.  I'm a lover, not a fighter, so please put me with non aggressive tankmates.

When you bring me home, make sure to have a stock of: meaty foods, crustacean flesh, mysis shrimp, and other frozen preparations.  Eventhough I eat everyday, I will only grow to about 3" in length.
