Gilbert's cardinalfish

Gilbert's cardinalfish (Apogon gilberti) is a marine species known for its vivid red or pink coloration with a distinct black spot at the base of its tail. It originates from the central Pacific Ocean, including areas around Hawaii. This fish typically displays a slender body structure and is relatively small in size, suitable for life in coral reef environments. Despite its striking appearance, Gilbert's cardinalfish is not particularly well-known in the aquarium hobby, partly due to its specific habitat requirements and possibly limited availability.
