pajama cardinal fish

[rainbow grouper]

yay i am going to get a pajama cardinal read up about them and they should be ok in my tank but just wanted you're advice on keeping them i love these fish

 

[teresaq]

Which tank?? they usually stay hid during the day, and come out more in subdued lighting. Had mine for yrs.
If this is going into your smaller tank --did you get powerheads for it. That tanks needs water movement.

No the 140 gallon and it has coves it can go in. Most of its tank mates are fine plus getting evening lights so i can see it more.

They usually do better in small groups/pairs than they do singly.

OH... I've mistaken...the Bangaii cardinal for the Pajama cardinal. It is the Bangaii cardinalfish that has been red listed by IUCN because of declines in populations.
