Banggai Cardinals Are Expecting

[litsoh]

For a while I was trying to determine the sex of the Banggai Cardinals that I got a couple months ago and it looks like last night I got my answer. I noticed he wasn’t going for the food when I fed the tank which was odd since my cardinals are normally super eager feeders. Then I saw how big his mouth was and I caught a glimpse of some eggs in his mouth, so congrats to the new dad!

Here’s a side by side comparison of my now confirmed breeding pair

Congratulations! Pan to raise them? I have had good luck.

Yeah I'll give it a try, probably gonna get a brine shrimp hatchery closer to the hatch dates and maybe try to get them on frozen rotifers as well

I have good luck with them releasing into an urchin at night them scoop them out next day.

Looks like I'll have to make a makeshift urchin LOL
