Overview

The Banggai Cardinal or Kaudern's Cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is one of the most popular marine aquarium fish, with bright silver stripes that contrast it's black coloration. 

As with most cardinals, they are generally docile in aquariums and should not be housed with overly aggressive tankmates. They are a great fish for reef tanks and swim freely in full view. They will eat a variety of aquarium foods including frozen foods and pellets.
