The Banggai Cardinalfish, native to Indonesia's Banggai Islands, thrives in calm waters among seagrass and coral reefs, making it perfect for reef tanks. Peaceful and reef-safe, it grows up to 3 inches and lives around 5 years, feeding on crustaceans and zooplankton. Best kept in small groups with compatible tank mates like gobies, it requires tank setups resembling its natural habitat with hiding spots and moderate water flow. Also known as Longfin or Kaudern's Cardinalfish, it adds elegance to aquariums with proper care.
