The Tank-Bred Blue-Eye Cardinalfish is also known as the Ochre-Striped Cardinalfish and is common among the waters of the Western Indo Pacific. They have a long slender shape and are striped with horizontal orange to brown stripes with a striking large blue eye. This tank bred Cardinalfish is very hardy and make a wonderful addition to any saltwater community or reef aquarium.
A 30-gallon or larger aquarium with a cave and peaceful tank mates is suitable for this slow and methodical swimmer. It tends to hide in sea grass or other plants, or may use longspine urchins for camouflage. If a larger aquarium is available, it will handle a small group of this species. As a group, they will establish a strict hierarchy without aggressiveness.
The Tank Bred Blue-Eye Cardinalfish requires a well balanced diet of meaty foods such as feeder shrimp, flake foods, pellet foods, marine flesh, bloodworms, and depending on its size, live feeder fish.
