Fish ID!

[loonz]

Hi guys...went to Chinatown to have a looksee after work today and bought a dimunitive fish on impulse. I know I should check it out first before purchase, but it does seem harmless...so wot the heck, I got 2 fishes at present only anyway...now..how about some ID???? It is at most 1 inch in length.

A pic of the fish in the package against my re-structured 3ft tank -- for a better indication of its size.

I believe it is in a cardinal fish species.... can't ID it yet.

Yes, it is a cardinal. It might eat shrimp when it grows a bit.
