The Pajama Cardinalfish (Sphaeramia nematoptera) belongs to the family named Apogonidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Pajama Cardinalfish is generally passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the middle tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Sphaeramia nematoptera should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and keep 3 or more.

Everyone says these guys are good in small schools, and that is generally true. However I had three, and the largest one continually bullied the other two. Pay close attention to how your fish behave in the store before you purchase them.
