Anybody have experience with these fish? Below is the description I found about their temperment. It sounds good but I have also seen chromis described as peaceful fish that can be kept in groups.

A 10-gallon or larger aquarium with a cave and peaceful tank mates is suitable for this slow and methodical swimmer. It tends to hide in sea grass or other plants, or may use long spined urchins for camouflage. If a larger aquarium is available, it will handle a small group of this species. As a group, they will establish a strict hierarchy without aggressiveness.

Is this the pajama cardinal?

If so I have 2 in my 100 gallon.

One Is bigger and kinda bullies the other one around if he gets close to him. They stay at opposite ends sometimes but yet sometimes they are fine and stay together. I've thought about trading the larger one in for a smaller or just adding a 3rd. Idk.

Now I like the look of the banggai cardinals better and wanna trade them both in.
