Pajama Cardinal Fish

[reef tank 2.0]

I would like to get two of these little guys and have a couple questions.......

I saw the required diet for these guys, its as follows: feeder shrimp, marine flesh, bloodworms, and depending on its size, live feeder fish.

I have googled it and came up short but what the hell is Marine Flesh?

This is a very friendly fish right? No reason why it can't live with other Reef friendly fish?

I have a 135g tank and this will be my first fish (2) for the tank.

as of diet, i dont think feeder shrimp are necessary. they will do well on mysis and pellets. any other frozen food will do, but mysis is the best IMO

same question about this "marine flesh" what the hell is it?

very friendly fish. reef safe.

liveaquaria's divers den sometimes has pairs of these fish. they currently do not, but they have a trio. http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=285345

Yes they are friendly but after having 3 of them for a year now, they seem very boring and look like zombies. You should also check out banggaii cardinals which are very similar but look different. This gives you another option to choose because in my opinion now this one looks better than the pj's

My cardinals eat just about any thing I put in the tank. They are peaceful and look nice as well. I am real happy with them and the are not boring in my opinion. There are plenty of other fish that are really active in my tank.

I had 2, removed one just because they are boring and taking real estate. Other than that no issues. They will eat about anything. They do have an interesting and a unique appearance.

I have 2 Bengaii and 3 pajamas. They all hang out together. I like them.

However, the limit for banggai cardinals is two.

I like my PJ trio a lot. Had them for a while and they have gotten big on regular aquarium frozen. Not active, certainly, and mine spend as much time apart as together. I also don't think they sleep ....
