The fish we will be focusing on today can be found lurking, almost exclusively around the calm, shallow waters of the Bangaii Islands. Generally speaking Bangaii Cardinal Fish are mild mannered, and will fit into almost any community tank, providing they aren’t with any tank mates that like to eat them. Commonly kept aquarium predator fish such as lionfish, morays and groupers make poor tank mates for Bangaii Cardinals.
This stationary behaviour and their maximum length of 3 inches, make them ideal for the aquarium trade, as they don’t require lots of swimming space and won’t out grow anything larger than a nano, Rule of thumb for aquarium size is around 30 gallons.
A mixed diet of meaty frozen food will need to be supplied on a daily basis as these fish can quickly lose weight despite their lazy swimming technique. Rarely will they accept processed foods such as flake or pellets sometimes testing them but quickly spitting them out. I’ve personally found that they eat mysis shrimp with great gusto.
Special thanks to Miss Saltwater Tank for paying us a visit.
