Social Behaviour: A swarmfish, which will stay close to his comrades in danger. Peaceful against other inhabitants.

The Ochre-striped Cardinalfish is recognised by its blue eyes and by its colour pattern. This species usually has 3-4 dark spots on the base of the tail fin and six red-brown stripes on the side of the body, the one behind the eye splits into two branches. The fish in the image do not show the typical colour pattern for this species.
