    I had 2 in my old tank, and have 1 in my tank now, got them from a local lfs. I had no troubles getting any of them to eat. Started them on frozen brine then after that they would eat anything I put in the tank. Dont know if they where WC or TR.

    P.S I also have a pajama Cardinal and I had no trouble getting it to eat either.

    I wasn't yelling Ocean... Most are wild caught, most drop like flies and few are aware of ther plight... meerly letting people know.Sorry, the Buddha did say that one should never assume!

    well thanks for all the feedback everyone, and i want to thank Dr.Fragenstein for this comment because this was something that I did not know and even though i havent been in this hobby for long the fact that when i go to buy fish that I am removing them from the ocean and possibly hurting their species' reproduction rate as a whole has always been something that has been in the back of my head, and i am going to try to become more aware about things like this so i can become a more resonsible hobbyist, but now that I have already purchased these fish my main priority is to try and get them to thrive in my aquarium. So thanks to eveyone for their help!

    I've got two ORA Bangais that are great. Get ORA when you can for a species.

    ORA has not had the banghai' cardinals on their list for quite some time- like the last 2 years. Why I don't know, but if anyone can breed these, ORA can.

    How long have you had these ORA cards?
