Kaudern's Cardinalfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Kaudern's Cardinalfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (114 liters)
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other non-aggressive, similarly sized fish. Can be kept in small groups or pairs, but aggression can occur between males if not enough space or hiding spots are provided. Avoid keeping with very active or aggressive tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places, such as live rock, sea urchins (especially Diadema setosum), or branching corals. Good water quality is crucial. They are mouthbrooders, and successful breeding in captivity is common. Fry require very small live foods.
