about the cardinal fish

[stormer99]

I've been wondering, do these guys tend to hang out near the top of the tank? I'm thinking of getting two for my tank, even though seffie doesn't seem to be a fan. Most of my fish stay near the bottom, so I'm curious if they'd swim around up high.

They tend to hover around the middle, not really doing much. I'm not a fan of these either, to be honest. Most fish won't stay at the top for long, they usually stick around the rocks so they can dart for cover when needed.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

My bangaiis have a favorite spot, they like to hang out in this one corner of the tank, usually together. They're pretty low-key, only really moving around when they think no one's watching, then they zip off. But at 8pm, they're front and center, waiting for food. I'm a fan of them personally. What cardinals were you thinking of getting? Just a heads up, some species can be pretty aggressive if you get two males, they'll fight to the death.

I'm not sure about the small wrasse, I was thinking of getting a sixline one and I've heard they don't get along with other types of wrasse in the same tank.

I'd be cautious adding another wrasse with a sixline, how about a bi-colour Blenny if you don't already have one?

[stormer99]

No six line wrasse yet, but I'm thinking of getting one. No blenny either.

They just kinda hang around mid level, not really doing much.

If you're looking for a fish that's got some real charm, a midas blenny would be a great choice - they've got bags of personality and are absolutely stunning to look at.
