hi
unfortunatley your humbug cat(platydoras costatus)
would make a meal out of your cardinals given half a chance
during the night

I guessing that Cardinals sleep on the substrate like most Tetras do at night and then when Mr Humbug Catfish comes out at night he will gobble them all up and no Cardinals left, try maybe a schooling fish that gets larger than cardinals and doesn`t sleep on the bottom
