General Comments: The Bangaii Cardinalfish also known as the Kaudern's Cardinalfish is very hardy and makes a great fish for a 30 gallon or larger tank. They are very peaceful fish which is why that are great for any non aggressive tank. Bangaii Cardinalfish is not a shy fish at all and will remain out in the open for your viewing pleasure. Should be housed singally as males will fight with eachother however a mated pair can coexist peacefully. When it comes to eating this fish is not picky and will accept a variety of foods that are fed.
