Bangai cardinal is home

[Rickybobby]

Hey everyone. Today I went to my lfs to get some live rock and checkout the livestock. It was Black Friday. (Even in Canada) anyway a shipment of cardinals came in and they looked well. Healthy and happy. I’ve never had one before but know it’s a good fit. So I bought one little girl. I named. Cardi b. lol. Anyway should I have bought two? What’s your opinions on this. Currently in 30g qt system than into 65 gallon in the new year?
ps I know you love that name

Bangaii cardinalfish are very awesome fish and pretty much do well in any situation. If you want more get 2 more I’ve found that 3 works better than 2 unless they are a pair. You can also keep them alone so if your worried about it being lonely don’t be she will be fine.

Are these picky eaters. Or what? Today dropped flakes. No go. Pellets. No go. Mysis no go? Man she’s just chilling being a pop star but didn’t seem interested. Maybe brine tomorrow? The chromis that are with her are well today!! Lol

Yeah they can be either the most aggressive eating fish behind blotched anthias or picky like a princess anthias. My first 5 bangaiis were super aggressive. Lately I couldn’t get a captive bred pair to accept anything, even live black worms. Good luck I can only recommend live foods if they don’t eat tomorrow. Maybe try live brine or live black worms.

I only have pajama cardinals and they eat everything. They are totally chill. Oddly enough, I never named the pair - honestly because they have no personality and inspiration was nil....
Loving the name.... I think I should name my pair Cardi and Nikki.... LOL
