The Threadfin Cardinalfish (Apogon leptacanthus) is sometimes called a Bluestreak Cardinalfish. It belongs to the family named Apogonidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Threadfin Cardinalfish is 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. Apogon leptacanthus 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.
