Ostorhinchus parvulus, also known as the redspot cardinalfish, is a marine fish in the family Apogonidae. [1] [2]
Redspot cardinalfish are semi-transparent with a large pink caudal spot. [3] They reach a maximum size of 4.0 centimeters (1.6 in). [1]
The redspot cardinalfish can be found in groups around current-prone rocky reefs, up to a depth of 12 meters (39 ft). [1]
Redspot cardinalfish are mouthbreeders that form distinct spawning pairs. [1]
