Reaching an adult size of 3 inches, this slow, deliberate swimmer displays long, elegant fins that give it a graceful, hovering presence in the aquarium. Peaceful with most tankmates but territorial toward its own kind, the Banggai Cardinal is best kept singly or as a confirmed pair. It is also well known for its ease of captive breeding, with males mouthbrooding their clutch of eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"634\" data-end=\"909\"\u003eA minimum 30-gallon aquarium with ample cave-like rockwork and shaded areas is ideal for this species’ calm swimming style. Introduce Banggai Cardinals to a mature, stable tank, and avoid keeping multiple individuals unless they are a bonded pair to prevent aggression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003eOffer a varied meaty diet including Hikari Brine Shrimp and PE Mysis, along with other suitable marine proteins.
