Blue eyes

[basiab]

My latest addition via MR, a blue eyed Cardinal. He is close to 3 inches. I am not sure if I should keep him since the tank is just 24 gallons. He has settled in but he really has very little room to move in my tank. Cardinals don't need a lot of room but I just feel he is cramped. He hovers with my Pajama Cardinals.

That's a really nice looking fish, good luck with it. Wish I could get one in my 14.

Part of my problem with him is that he tries to get into the rock and the way it is set up now he just can't squeeze in. But I think he really needs a bigger tank so I will probably put him up for sale. My Gramma is full size and fat and blue eyes is much bigger than him.
I just noticed my Tailspot blennys head in the second picture.

It hovers with the Pajama because it's a schooling fish and will do better with 2-3 of it's own species. I would consider a bigger tank..I seen them get to 4" and like most other cardinals it's nocturnal..pretty cool watching them swim around at night.

My baby pajama is up and around at night and so is blue eyes but my big pajama does hide at night. And I agree he needs a bigger tank. I didn't know how big he was till I went to pick him up and since the guy was shutting down the tank I didn't think it would be right for me to back out on him in the last minute.
