Bangaii Cardinalfish
Pterapogon kauderni
Origin: Banggai Islands, Indonesia
Size: Up to 8 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Carnivore – feeds on small meaty foods such as mysis, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood; readily accepts frozen preparations.
Care Level: Moderate – hardy in stable water conditions but sensitive to poor water quality.
Aggression: Peaceful – can be kept in groups; males may guard small territories.
Captive-Bred Available: ✅ Yes – widely bred in captivity
Notes:
The Bangaii Cardinalfish is an iconic aquarium species known for its striking black-and-white pattern and long flowing fins. It is a mid-water, nocturnal species that appreciates hiding spots among rockwork or coral. Males carry eggs in their mouths, making them fascinating to observe in breeding pairs.
Why We Like It:
Elegant, peaceful, and full of personality, the Bangaii Cardinalfish adds graceful movement and striking contrast to the reef. Captive-bred specimens are widely available, making them sustainable and ideal for hobbyists.
