  1. How I hate to see the word 'threatened' attached to so many species :( What a dynamic and gorgeous little creature and how beautiful in this setting and shot. Posted 6 years ago
    1. Likewise, is sad that thanks to us as species the rest of the planet suffers. Thanks for liking the pic! :-) Posted 6 years ago

The Banggai cardinalfish is a small tropical cardinalfish . It is the sole member of the genus Pterapogon, with the exception of Pterapogon mirifica. This attractive fish is popular in the aquarium trade. It is among the relatively few marine fish to have been bred regularly in captivity, but significant numbers are still captured in the wild and it is now a threatened species.
