The **Pajama Cardinalfish** is a charming and lively addition to any aquarium. Its body is adorned with red spots, and the back half resembles pajama bottoms.

The **Pajama Cardinalfish** grows to a maximum of 3 inches, making it suitable for tanks as small as 29 gallons. It's best not to keep them in large groups, as the dominant pair or trio can become aggressive towards others. These fish are reef-safe, as they do not harm corals or invertebrates.

Ideal for beginners, the **Pajama Cardinalfish** is easy to care for. We introduced a trio to our 500-gallon reef tank, and they thrived. In tanks with strong currents, provide hiding spots as they are not strong swimmers. Avoid housing them with aggressive tank mates. Being nocturnal, they add movement to your tank at night.

As carnivores, **Pajama Cardinalfish** require a diet rich in meaty foods. Mysis and brine shrimp, bloodworms, and flake food are excellent choices to keep them healthy.
