Info
Photos of live cardinalfish Siphamia senoui can be found on the internet, but are difficult to obtain.
Like all cardinalfish, Siphamia senoui will also be nocturnal.
We do not have any husbandry reports.
Etymology:
“Siphamia” is a Swazi word, and stands for a fish;
“senoui": This species was named in honor of Dr. Hiroshi Senou of the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History. Dr. Senou, in collaboration with various Japanese colleagues, has been instrumental in expanding our knowledge of the tropical reef fishes of southern Japan and the adjacent Ryukyu Archipelago.
He also collected and photographed the holotype and most of the paratypes of this species.
We would like to thank Dr. Hiroshi Senou of the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History, Japan, for the first photo of the cardinalfish Siphamia senoui dedicated to him.
