Banggai Cardinalfish

[hit_the_gap]

Hi Everyone,
i was looking to add a 3 banggai cardinalfish to my 120 gal. Right now, the tank is stocked with 2 clowns, 1 yellow tank, 1 blue tang, 1 potters angel, and a mandarin.

Anyone with experience with these fish, please let me know if this is a good/bad idea. thanks.

It would be best if you could find a bonded pair or just one, Banggais will try to kill each other off if they're not a pair.

+1 on getting a pair If you get 3 two of them will pair and kill the other.

If you get 5 they will school though

At first they will school, then two will pr off and kill the rest one by one.

I had 3 for a few weeks, now down to 2. They didn't kill the 3rd one so much as he just wouldn't come out of hiding to eat.
