I have 5 pajama cardinal fish in my 120 gallon tank and one that is 5 1/2years of age and yes I do care that they are captive bred fish. Wherever possible I purchase captive bred fish.
I have one and yes, it's great that it was not captured in the wild. I would like to add several more but am worried that the current one would attack them. Is it OK to add say 5 more? It's a 200g tank with only a few peaceful fish at the moment
Like almost all marine fish that school in the wild attempts to do this in tanks eventually end up as the dominant pair, including Banggai cardinals. I would add two then you should end up with a pair then remove the third before it’s bullied too badly.
I have a breeding pair, however, I'm never able to get the male to release the babies (he always ends up swallowing them). Any tricks/tips to get the male to carry them to term and how to release them safely?
you need to keep the male fed to the max as they breed pretty fast and the male ends up either dying through hunger or eating the young, or if young it's down to the fish's experience
Aight so let me ask. Why are those tangs not in a bigger tank? I mean, they're clearly showing signs of lack of space. I'm NOT a tang police, just asking
0:06 key words: RETAIL FISH UNITS. That ain’t a tangs forever home, rather instead a short term holding tank for the tang to soon be sold to its forever home.
This guy is a great source of information. Thank you for sharing.

Title is a bit misleading. 🙂

Hey that Clown Tang with the cardinal fish is sick you need to quarintine/medicate. As a customer I would not risk purchasing this fish
