Genus
Common name: Fowleria cardinalfish
Scientific name: Fowleria
Fowleria is a genus of cardinalfish commonly found in the Indo-Pacific region. These small, nocturnal fish are known for their peaceful nature and striking coloration, making them a popular choice for reef aquariums. They often exhibit interesting behaviors such as mouthbrooding, where males carry fertilized eggs in their mouths until they hatch. Fowleria species are relatively hardy and can adapt to a range of conditions, but they thrive best in well-established tanks with plenty of hiding places.
