75 gal hex just checked the water and its good.... salt is good too.....he is not died yet but not looking good.... ph is at a 7.8 little low..... but its always been like that.... for two months.... pet store sayed it would stabilize, should i put a ph buffer in the tank..... all the other fish are doing great...... i know the bangaii cardinal is nocturnial, do you have to feed them at night with the lights off.......

That's not normal. I'd say it was wild caught and mis handled most likely. Just a little free advise fwiw unless you really trust the source keep an eye on a new critter for a week or so. Then when you do buy it put it in a hospital tank so that if you're wrong you don't loose more than one fish.

banggai cardinal loves live food such as live brimpshrimp and etc. you must train him to eat dead shrimp, worms and etc....banggai cardinal is not so easy to kept unless they started to eat....once you never give ur training or he just focus on live food, he will kept on diet..

So good luck on ur next shipment...
