Die ringstertkardinaal (Ostorhinchus aureus) is 'n vis wat wydverspreid voorkom in die westelike Stille Oseaan en die Indiese oseaan, die Golf van Aden en aan die ooskus van Afrika suidwaarts tot by die suide van KwaZulu-Natal. In Engels staan die vis bekend as die Ring-tailed cardinalfish en was voorheen geklassifiseer as Apogon aureus.

Der Sonnen- oder Schwarzbinden-Kardinalbarsch (Ostorhinchus aureus, Syn.: Apogon aureus) ist ein kleiner, 10 bis 14,5 Zentimeter lang werdender Meeresfisch, der im Roten Meer und im tropischen Indopazifik von Ostafrika bis zu den Izu-Inseln südlich von Japan, Neuguinea, Australien und Neukaledonien vorkommt.
Er ist kupferfarben, die Oberseite ist heller. Ein schwarzes, blau eingerahmtes Band zieht sich von der Schnauzenspitze bis zu den Augen und knapp dahinter. Entlang des Oberkiefers zieht sich eine blaue Linie. Das Maul ist groß und oberständig. Die Schwanzflossenwurzel trägt ein breites, schwarzes Querband bzw. einen schwarzen Fleck.
Flossenformel: Dorsale VIII/9, Anale II/8
Der Schwarzbinden-Kardinalbarsch lebt in Spalten und Höhlen oder zwischen den Ästen von Steinkorallen (Acroporen) in Lagunen und geschützten Korallenriffen, in Tiefen von einem bis 40 Metern. Während der Sommermonate und im Herbst bildet der Sonnenkardinalbarsch gemeinsame Schwärme mit Ostorhinchus apogonoides. Im Frühling und im Winter trennen sich die beiden Arten. Wie alle Kardinalbarsche sind die Fische Maulbrüter. Sie ernähren sich von Zooplankton.

The ring-tailed cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus aureus) is a widespread fish species in the family Apogonidae found in the Red Sea and off East Africa to Papua New Guinea, north to Japan, and south to Australia.[1]
O. aureus
Selected genetic neighbours[2]The French naturalist Philibert Commerson provided the first description of this fish from Réunion in the western Indian Ocean, but it was not published in a format allowing full citation. Therefore, the species name and description by Bernard Germain de Lacépède (who acknowledged Commerson) takes precedence, albeit with a nod to Commerson.[3] With no original or subsequent illustrations or specimens denoted as types, Fricke nominated a neotype in 1999 but subsequently withdrew it.[4]
This species has on occasion been mistakenly considered a junior synonym of the similar species Ostorhinchus fleurieu, but is generally acknowledged as separate; it had the junior species synonym roseipinnis applied by Georges Cuvier in 1829.[5]
Lacépède coined the genus Ostorhinchus in 1802[6] to which O. aureus was eventually assigned,[7] although he originally placed it in the genus Centropomus which is now placed in a different fish family, Centropomidae.
This fish is coppery-coloured with a broad blackish bar at the base of the tail, up to 14.5 cm in length. The upper jaw has a narrow blue streak, and a broad blackish stripe extends from the front of the snout to the eye. Easily confused with Ostorhinchus fleurieu,[8] where the black tail bar does not narrow in the centre, but unlike this species, the stripe is also present in juveniles.
Internally, O. aureus is one of a large group of nocturnal feeding fishes which has a black pigmented gut lining, apparently to hide the glow of bioluminescent prey from its own piscivores in turn.[9] The eyes of O. aureus allow the transmission of ultraviolet light,[10] which if it is proven to be able to see, could benefit its nocturnal foraging.
Using a shorthand meristics formula, O. aureus can be described as having:
D, VII-I,9
A, II,8
P, 14
LL, 25
GR, 6-8 + 16-20[11]
Ostorhinchus aureus inhabits holes in rocks or under ledges in shallow waters. It is known to occur in mixed aggregates with Ostorhinchus apogonoides during summer and autumn, but form separate aggregates in winter and spring.
Whereas coral reef fish settlement tends to be dominated by larval recruitment, in at least part of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, recruitment of O. aureus at any given coral reef patch tends to be by adult and juvenile migration across intervening sand and coral debris.[12]
O. aureus is subject to infection by tiny cnidarian parasites from class Myxosporea. Fish specimens have been found with gall bladder infections of Ceratomyxa apogoni, Ceratomyxa cardinalis,[13] and Ellipsomyxa apogoni,.[14] Three species have also been found in skeletal muscle cells: Kudoa cheilodipteri, Kudoa whippsi,[15] and Kudoa iwatai.[16]
O.aureus is a nocturnal predator; where seagrass is adjacent to its reef, it tends to venture out further than some other members of its family.[17]
Studies of stomach contents show that O.aureus is a generalist predator, eating mainly planktonic and benthic crustaceans, but, unusually for its family, may at times also eat marine algae.[18]
O.aureus are external bearers, specifically mouth brooders. Adults tend to pair whilst juveniles tend to aggregate during the day time.[19]
O. aureus is regularly kept by marine aquarists.[20]
Personal Aquariums
List of aspects that should be aware of about having Ring-tailed cardinalfish at home as personal pet:
- This species needs good hiding places, for example, between live rocks.
- This species can live with many of its own kind, when provided with enough space.
- This species is nocturnal and therefore the most active when the light is dimmed or turned off.
- The species grows very quickly if fed well.
- This species might be a threat to smaller fishes.
- This species poses a threat towards shrimps and crabs etc. which are relatively small. [21]
