cool, congrats! are they bangaii's or pj's?

Bangaii's. They are eating well and look healthy.

awesome! do you have them by themselves? do they have access to chaeto? mine love to hunt pods in the chaeto. they get right in the stuff, and have to wriggle their way back out

I have them by themselves in a 10gal tank. I was thinking about taking chaeto out of one of the other tanks and putting it in there.

i'd do it, just to watch them hunt. it's so cute! they're little, but they have their fins way high in the air, kind of like an orca, you can almost see them puffing out their chests lol

I had a Bangaii about 8 months ago. Then one day it disappeared out of my tank. Poor bugger

The cheat is neat. Ours would hover and stare at the cheat ball all day just waiting for something to move then pounce. That is until all them but one were electrocuted by a bad heater. RIP little fellas. :sad:

Ah so cool! I love them.

Congrats! What's your breeding set-up?

The mated pair is in my 70 reef tank. I can't get them out so I was luck to catch the babies while the male was releasing them. We able to get three of them out and put in a 10 gal tank. They are doing well and growing.

if u realy want them out go to a good fishing suply store where they cary fly tying supplys and buy some size 22 fly hooks bend the barb down get some 2lb monofilement line and some mysis and go fishing.i know some people think its cruel but its the only way to get them out of a established reef without a major teardown.i have had to do this several times with troublemakers and i asure you it dosent harm them.just dont wait to long to seth the hook you dont want them swalowing it.if they do dont remove it cut the like as close to the mouth as pocible and it will disolve.if there going into a fish only setup it wont hurt anything.something to consider good luck.
