Well after some patience and time well spent, I recently added some new members to my tank.
I now have four Black Cardinalfish. These guys are amazing I have to say. They are nocturnal as are most cardinals but go through the most amazing morphs from night to day. In the day they hide in a few different caves and also in the branches of a digitata colony and are almost pure black. At night, completely different fish. Out in the open all the night but this is where it gets wild. They change into a completely translucent fish. You can see completely through them. There are hints of blue and green irridesence all along their bodies but for the most part are see though. :D They are the coolest addition I have added in ages.
Well, next to my priceless flatworm eating wrasse that is. ;) :D Speaking of which, I now have NO flatworms at all. And no it isn't for sale. rent maybe. $20 a day until he is caught out of your tank. ;) Sorry for that. Back to the topic at hand.
Spectacular fish. I bought all of them for less than two bangaii's. Much less.
The pics here don't do them justice. Honest. I will try to get some pics as soon as I can.
