Question

Banggai cardinalfish

I just brought home and acclimated a Banggai cardinalfish. I have a 29g biocube with a Koralia 1 powerhead in there. Is this too strong of a current for a Banggai? He doesn't look like he's floating, but more like flapping his fins frantically. The LR has holes to hide in, but he just stays in front of the holes where he first landed in the tank. Advice please ???

I dont remember my Banggai's ever hiding in my LR.

Try turning off the PH for an hour and see what he does.

They don't hide in the liverock holes being more of an open water swimmer.They also do best with a gentle flow as you've already noticed.

That is so correct. My Bangaii and cardinals tend to stay in one spot in the water colume and only dash around to feed and they are more active at night.
