Cardinals

[smokin' reefer]

Is it OK to put Bangai and Pajama Cardinals in the same tank? I have a 125g and was thinking about 2 or 3 of each.

anyone?????

at marine fish (one of our sponsers) they have a very large display tank and in that tank there are both pajama and bangia cardinals. So I guess it's ok but I would talk to Tim or some one that runs a fish store.

This site indicates that suitable tankmates for pajama cardinals are other cardinalfish:

On Wet Web Media, I read "Most cardinalfishes as individuals get along with their own kind, [B]other species of apogonids[/B] and other peaceful tankmates.":

I think you'd be fine.

Think you will probably be fine in a 125 if they are all small but I have not tried it. My PJ Cardinals formed a pair and the third one was tormented to the point that it had to be removed. Not sure if that is because it was female and the pair did not want another female in the tank (70G)
