The Blue Streak Cardinal is a mouthbrooder that is very difficult to raise in captivity, therefore making them only sporadically available.

Would love to have a few if I could find them also. Good luck and keep us posted.
 
Based on my understanding, stores dont really stock them because they look like a freshwater fish and dont sell well. I had to order mine through Jeff at coral reef farm. I love them though. The blue eyes get really blue sometimes, not sure if its when they are mating/spawning/feeding or what. I have 1 or 2 carrying a brood as we speak. Ive noticed that theyve become quite expensive now. When i bought them like 2 years ago they were about $7 each, now ive seen them between $12-15.
 
I paid $8 for the one I bought yesterday

The first thing my son said was "hey that's a freshwater fish, he can't be in there" the stark contrast to most SW fish is what makes them cool.

The family wasn't impressed

Almost everyone that comes to see my tank are impressed by mine. Once you get a small school going, they will look more interesting. I had i believe 9-10 and they dwindled down to 5. I think you have to stay with around 5 or get alot, like 20. I tried 2 times to get a med school going of about 10 and both times they seemed to have dwindled down to about 5 or so.
 
Struck out at strictly they had a bunch of banagai and pajama but no blue eyed. I gave them my name and number in case they get more. They did have an Achilles tang that I considered buying but not time yet.
