orange stripe cardinalfish

[bassnman11]

Anyone have experience with orange stripe cardinals? Are they reef safe? Do they play well with others

i used to have 4 of them and yes they're reef safe. They actually play well w/others but the big one would kind of pick on the smaller ones...not to the extent that they would die but just peck.
i lost them to a heater malfunction a while ago.

Reef safe, and do better in groups.

bassnman, refer to this thread where I talk about my old group, and I also show photos of some wild A. cyanosoma I shot in Micronesia. To sum it up, they play well until they mature and breeding comes along in which case they fight incessantly to the death (this was in a 180).
