Ostorhinchus hartzfeldii (Bleeker, 1852)
Cardinalfish are easily recognized by their double dorsal fin, oversized eyes, which indicate that they are crepuscular and nocturnal, and the fine longitudinal body lines.
Care should be taken with larger cardinalfish to ensure that they are appropriately stocked, as smaller fish are also on the menu. The courtship behavior of a pair is very interesting, whereby the male takes care of the fry in his mouth and usually does not eat during this time.Freshly released delicate and tender young in miniature look very similar to their parents, they are not typical planktonic fish larvae.
