Banggai Cardinal Fish

Approx. Size: 0.5" to 1.5" Banggai Cardinalfish are small, laterally compressed fish with an elegant appearance. They have a striking silver body adorned with three bold black bands and delicate, elongated fins. Their shimmering scales and flowing fin extensions make them a highly sought-after species for home aquariums. Tank Requirements Banggai Cardinalfish do well in smaller aquariums, typically 30 gallons or larger, as they only grow to about 3 inches in length. They prefer a well-structured environment with plenty of hiding spots, such as live rock formations, caves, and seagrass-like decor to mimic their natural habitat. Sensitive to Water Quality These fish require stable, high-quality water conditions to thrive. Regular water changes and efficient filtration are essential to prevent stress-related illnesses. Maintaining proper salinity, pH, and temperature is crucial for their overall health. Diet and Feeding Banggai Cardinalfish are carnivorous and thrive on a varied diet
