The Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is one of the most striking reef fish you can keep. With its elegant silver body, bold black stripes, and long, graceful fins, it adds instant beauty to any aquarium. Native to the Banggai Islands of Indonesia, this peaceful species prefers calm waters and does best in small groups. Unlike many other marine fish, Banggai cardinals are mouthbrooders — the male carries the eggs in his mouth until the fry are ready to swim free! ✨ Easy to care for, pea
