Description

The Bangai Cardinal, renowned for its distinctive appearance, features a striking black and white coloration with long, flowing fins. Native to the Bangai Islands in Indonesia, this small fish is a favorite among aquarists for its peaceful nature and adaptability to reef environments.

These fish thrive in well-planted tanks with plenty of hiding spots, making them ideal for community setups. Their diet is primarily omnivorous, requiring a mix of high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen or live foods to maintain optimal health and color.

One of the fascinating aspects of the Bangai Cardinal is its unique breeding behavior. They exhibit mouth-brooding, where the male carries and nurtures the fertilized eggs in its mouth until they hatch. This makes them an interesting choice for breeders as well as hobbyists.

With proper care and attention, the Bangai Cardinal can live for several years in captivity, bringing color and personality to any marine aquarium.
