More about Bluebarred cardinalfish
The Bluebarred cardinalfish (Apogon flores) is a marine fish recognizable by its striking blue lines that run vertically across its body, juxtaposed against a predominantly red or orange background. This species originates from the Western Pacific Ocean. It exhibits a typical cardinalfish body shape, which is somewhat elongated with a large, mouth. While it's an aesthetically appealing fish, the Bluebarred cardinalfish is not among the most popular types within the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its specific care requirements and relative rarity compared to more commonly kept species.
