Banggai Cardinalfish

The Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is a small cardinalfish of the family Apogonidae endemic to the highly restricted range of the Banggai Archipelago in Indonesia. Its silvery-white body dotted with fine white spots, three bold black vertical stripes, and elegantly elongated dorsal and anal fins distinguish it as one of the most ornate of all cardinalfishes. It is a mouthbrooder: the male incubates eggs and newly hatched fry in his mouth, a fascinating behavior observable in captivity. Captive breeding is relatively well established, and aquarium-raised individuals are widely available. Exceptionally peaceful and reef-safe, it makes an ideal community fish. Wild populations are classified as Endangered due to habitat loss and overcollection; sourcing captive-bred specimens is strongly encouraged.
