General information about the Orbic Pajama Cardinalfish
The Orbic Pajama Cardinal Fish is a rainbow of vibrant shades. It features a yellowish-green face and bright orange eyes, and a silver body with a striking black scalloped edge and an anterior surface dotted with orange polka dots. Although its striking coloration might make it stand out, Sphaeramia nematoptera has a tranquil nature that allows it to seamlessly blend into any saltwater aquarium. This aquarium fish should be housed in small groups in medium- to large-sized aquariums. Since the Pajama is a slow, methodical swimmer, it must be kept in a peaceful tank with other fish and given a myriad of hiding spots among the rocks or other plants. The majority of Pajama Cardinalfish will tend to conceal themselves within seagrass or in other plants. They may also hide among sea urchins with long spines. Like other schooling fish, Pajama Cardinalfish form a strict hierarchy when kept in small groups in the aquarium. But, unlike other group fish that are social, this one, belonging to the Apogonidae family, does not use aggressiveness to gain the upper hand over other cardinals.Sizing and Stats
