Yellow Stripe Cardinalfish (Asia Pacific)
The Yellow Stripe Cardinal fish makes a cheery and colorful addition to almost any aquarium. It has a bright silver colored body with many yellow stripes running from its nose to its tail. Males and females are visually identical. It grows up to 3 inches.
The Yellow Stripe Cardinal is a peaceful, reef safe fish. It schools eagerly with it's own species and often with other species as well. They are typically safe with invertebrates; however, it has a large mouth and may attack small shrimp or tiny fish. They are easy to feed on a variety of frozen foods, but may need time to adapt to dry food.
It prefers an aquarium with some overhangs and caves which it may spend time in during the day. Cardinals are hardy and do not require much swimming space compared to other fish. We recommend an aquarium of at least 20 gallons for a single fish and 30 gallons or larger for a school.
