Will a PJ and Banjaii cardinal group?

[peef]

So I know that cardinal fish are social and prefer to be kept in groups. So my question is if I already have a Pajama Cardinal then I add a Banjaii (sp) will they group and recognize each other or will they just see each other as, "Just another fish"? Thanks for the help!

It is possible that they will hang out in the same area at times but normally they will not "group"

Really? So I should keep it species specific?

My friend had 2 B. Cardinals and I gave him my 2 PJ Cardinals and they all stay together.. so who knows

 

[peef]

Hmmmm, well I think I will try it anyway. thanks!

In general Banggai prefer to be in mated pairs, not groups. They will group when young but usually not when mature.
