The Kaudern's Cardinal, also known as the Banggai Cardinalfish or Longfin Cardinalfish, is silver highlighted by black stripes and white spots on the body and long, elegant fins.

 Banggai Cardinal Fish are only found in a small area around Banggai Island off Sulawesi, an Indonesian Island east of Borneo. This fish is very close to being placed on the endangered species list because of over collection.  

These little guys can reproduce in captivity, and these captive-bred fish are the ones you should buy for your aquarium.  Before you purchase a Banggai Cardinal Fish, ask the retailer where they came from. If they say that is was wild caught, please don't buy them!
