i left them at Big Als for ya.
9 of em if i remember correctly.
i was gonna pick them up for my tank, but i think they might hide too much with the way my tank is set up and with the fish i currently have.
you can thank me later

hmmm...
i guess the demand for this fish is only in the US.
this fish is being fairly highly sought after as the "new" schooling fish.
a tight schooler from what i have seen.

I found a few latin names for longspined cardinalfish: Apongon leptacanthus, Apogon doryssa, Apogon aptacanthus... of course the Apogon genus is very large... http://www.trip-net.jp/umimono/fish/Apogonidae/menu.htm
