Pterapogon kauderni, also known as the Banggai cardinalfish, is a peaceful, graceful, and nocturnal fish, ideal for reef aquariums of at least 100 liters. Originally from the Banggai Islands in Indonesia, it is now available from French breeding, without impacting wild populations, thanks to the work of MERS CB.
This fish is distinguished by its silver body striped with black, its large tapered fins, and its prominent eyes giving it an intense gaze. It moves slowly, often in open water or near hiding spots. It can live alone, in a group, or as a formed pair.
The specimens offered are bred by MERS CB in France. The breeder certifies that their fish are not carriers of the virus that decimated many kauderni colonies in the past years. This is a guarantee of quality and longevity for your aquarium.
It is not possible to guarantee a pair upon order. To naturally form a pair, it is recommended to take a small group of 5 individuals and let them pair by affinity. The incubating male keeps the eggs in his mouth, a spectacular mouthbrooding incubation to observe.
The Pterapogon kauderni is very peaceful. It adapts perfectly to community life with other calm fish and invertebrates. It can be shy if alone, hence the advantage of a group or a pair.
It easily accepts a varied diet and often feeds in open water. It is preferable to feed several times a day in small amounts.
Pterapogon kauderni is a safe, ethical, and aesthetic choice for any reef aquarium. Thanks to French breeding MERS CB, you benefit from a robust, healthy fish ready to harmoniously integrate into your marine ecosystem.
