Bangai Cardinal - Emperor Tank Bred (Pteroapogon kauderni)

The Bangai Cardinal, also known as the Bangai Cardinal fish or Long fin Cardinal fish, is a very attractive fish with a simple yet sophisticated color scheme and marking. Its overall body coloration is a shimmering silver, highlighted with pearly white spots. Bold, black stripes along the body accentuate the long fins to elegant effect. Marine World Aquatics proudly offers captive bred Bangai Cardinal fish bred and reared in Indonesia and Asia that are hardier than their wild harvested counterparts.

House the Bangai Cardinal fish in a well-filtered 30 gallon or larger aquarium aquascaped with a generous amount of live rock. Carefully arrange the aquarium landscape to create plenty of caves, overhangs, and crevices as well as an open area for swimming. House the Bangai Cardinal with peaceful tank mates as it is a slow and methodical swimmer. Groups of Bangai Cardinal fish can be kept in relative peace in larger systems with plenty of swimming and hiding spaces. Moderate water movement will also be appreciated by the Bangai Cardinal fish.

The Bangai Cardinal is relatively easy to breed in the aquarium setting. Once spawning has occurred, the male carries the eggs in his mouth to protect them.

The Bangia Cardinal should be fed small quantities of food several times per day consisting of a well-balanced diet which includes enriched frozen brine shrimp and mysis shrimp, along with a quality marine pellet or flake food.
