Genus
Common name: Rhabdamia
Scientific name: Rhabdamia
Rhabdamia is a genus of cardinalfishes found in the Indo-Pacific region, often inhabiting reef environments. These small, nocturnal fish are known for their peaceful nature and schooling behavior, making them suitable for community reef aquariums. They have a slender body, large eyes, and a silver to translucent coloration, which helps them blend into the reef at night. Rhabdamia species are generally hardy and can adapt to captive conditions if provided with ample hiding spaces and a varied diet of small meaty foods.
