Sphaeramia Nematoptera Tank Bred - Pajama Cardinalfish

Tank-Bred Pajama Cardinalfish

The Pajama Cardinalfish (Sphaeramia nematoptera) is a popular and peaceful marine fish, instantly recognizable by its whimsical "pajama-like" pattern. Its unique look consists of a greenish-yellow face, large red eyes, a bold black band around its midsection, and a silvery-white body with a playful sprinkle of orange polka dots on its rear half.

This specific tank-bred variety offers significant advantages over wild-caught specimens. They are exceptionally hardy, already accustomed to captive life, and readily accept a variety of prepared foods, making them an excellent choice for new and experienced aquarists alike.

Key Features

• Distinctive Appearance: A truly eye-catching fish with a one-of-a-kind color pattern and large, striking red eyes.

• Ideal for Groups: Pajama Cardinalfish are social fish that thrive in small schools or pairs. Watching them hover calmly in a group adds a sense of tranquility to any tank.

• Peaceful Temperament: These fish are slow-moving and non-aggressive, making them perfect tank mates for other peaceful community fish like gobies, clownfish, and small wrasses.

• Reef Safe: They are completely reef safe and will not harm corals or other invertebrates. However, be cautious with very small, vulnerable shrimp, as they may be seen as food.

• Aquacultured: Our tank-bred Pajama Cardinalfish are a sustainable choice, reducing the impact on wild reef populations.
