Hey, Cardinals are nice fish . Favourites are Banggai and Orange striped. Only problem is always have problems with white spot on the latter ones.

The orange striped is also known as Apogon Cyanosoma. Got some pics below from the net mine are gone.... sob!

Anyway there are two other cardinalfish with similar markings, Apogon Wassinki and Progenta. These two are more like yellow fishes with silver stripes, whereas the cyanosoma are silver fish with yellow striped. They are look great! Especially with the brown patch on the head.

P.S. another link on cardinal fishes to look into.
