The Five Lined Cardinalfish have a long slender shape and are an iridescent silver colour. The large black striped eyes are offset by a bright yellow and black spot near the tail which confuses possible predators which way the fish is facing.
A 200 litre or larger aquarium with a cave and peaceful tank mates is suitable for this slow and methodical swimmer. It tends to hide in sea grass or other plants, or may use long spine urchins for camouflage. As a group, they will establish a strict hierarchy without aggressiveness.
In the wild, the Five Lined Cardinalfish diet includes crustaceans, different kinds of mobile invertebrates and small fish. In the home aquarium, serve a well balanced diet of meaty foods such as feeder shrimp, flake foods, pellet foods, marine flesh, bloodworms, and depending on its size, live feeder fish.
