Description
The Frost Fin Cardinal (Apogon spp.) is a small, peaceful species that adds a gentle touch of elegance to any community or reef aquarium. Characterized by its silvery body with subtle hints of yellow on the fins and a dark stripe across its eye, this fish is ideal for beginners due to its hardy nature and compatibility with various tank mates. The Frost Fin Cardinal is also schooling by nature, so it thrives best when kept in small groups, allowing its naturally social behavior to shine.
In terms of care, this species is easy to feed, accepting a variety of carnivorous diets including frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. They are reef-safe and get along well with other peaceful tank inhabitants, making them a great addition to reef environments.
Due to their small size, they are well-suited for tanks of at least 30 gallons, though larger schools may require more space. This low-maintenance fish is a great choice for aquarists looking to add a calm, easy-to-care-for species to their setup.
