| no way, bangaii are black and white, and the tails are pointier? Maybe a really dull pajama? Lorries pajama almost has no bright color   |

| Actually, this is neither Pajama, nor Banggai... it is an Orbiculate Cardinal... sometimes called a Spotted Cardinal. Took me a while to find it so I could identify them... got a pair of them. Notice the Pelvic fins. That pattern is unique to the Orbiculate. |

| I got them in a trade, but prior to the trade, their previous owner wanted $4 each for them. They were fighting with his single Banggai. They haven't given me any trouble. In fact, it was nearly two weeks before I saw them eat anything. |

| I was worried about these two for not eating for so long. Kept thinking I would have to feed them a special diet, but now they eat any food I put in there. I use flakes, frozen brine shrimp and frozen krill. |

| They Spotteds have great personalities too! They have pretty cool markings. Different from the pajama cardinal. The pajamas might not be the most colorful, of course mine is really old. The younger ones are a little more colorful, but he has personality! Heres my old guy. Hes a good 5" long.  |
