Yellowstriped Cardinalfish

The Yellowstriped Cardinalfish comes from the reefs of Fiji or Indonesia. The fish has a long slender form with six yellow and orange lines throughout the body.
A larger or 10-gallon aquarium that includes a cave, as well as calm tank mates, is perfect for this slow and deliberate swimmer. It is often found hiding in seagrass and other plants and may employ long spined urchins to camouflage. If an aquarium with a larger size is accessible, it can accommodate a small group of the species. As a group, they’ll create a strict hierarchy, without any aggression.

The Yellowstriped Cardinalfish requires a well-balanced diet that includes meaty food like feeder shrimp flake foods, pellet food as well as bloodworms, marine flesh, and, depending on the size live feeder fish.
