Can someone help me ID these Cardinalfish?

A Chinese seller collects them by hand and I'd love some more Cardinals to go with my PJs. However, I don't know which species these ones are. Do they do well in groups or singles? Are they hardy?

Thanks.


My guess is that the striped ones are Broad Striped Cardinals, but really not sure about the red ones.

Its not linking to a pic of cardinals just advertising & a next pic option that also was not your pic.

I have all the pics posted to a Taiwanese forum. Would also appreciate it if I could know the species and care requirements of the Blennies. Thanks a lot!

Problem solved. I contacted WWM and they told me the yellow ones are O. cyanosoma and the red ones are A. pacificus. I’d love these Cardinalfish but one of them has a cloudy eye and I don’t want it to spread should I get fish from this dealer. He catches all of these fish from the ocean near where he lives and keeps them in natural seawater. Maybe too risky for a captive system.

Those aren't cardinalfish as I know them. Check Live Aquaria.
