Good Afternoon all,

I was wondering if anyone has kept Black Cardinalfish and any pictures would be great! This is not Bangaii or Pyjama Cardinals. Their care and temperament seems to be on par with all Cardinals.

I have not seen them in my travels (I've hosted all other cardinals you'd typically expect to find at one point or another), but it looks like an interesting fish.

I just got these two today at my SoCal Petco. 20% off 14.99 on certain marine fish. My local Petco has been getting a great variety of marine fish lately. I picked up a porcelain, anemone crab too, same price.
Very easy to care for and such curious fish. They follow my finger on glass. I love the way they float on.

I'm not sure if it's the pair I bought, I think they are both males as they fight at feeding time. In between, they each have their own crevice to hang in.
