Notes: The Spotted Cardinal is a great fish for the beginner reef aquarist and readily adapts to most aquariums. Pairs or small groups may be kept in aquariums of 60 gallons or more providing they are all added together. It is generally peaceful, except towards other cardinalfish.
The Spotted Cardinal is completely reef safe and should not bother corals, clams, or invertebrates.
Feed a varied diet of frozen carnivore preparations including mysid shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped marine flesh.
