Big WOW today!

[The_Godfreys]

A few weeks back my Bangaii Cardnals did the mouth brooding thing. Was hoping to get a glimpse of the fry before they became reef food but no such luck. However today while doing a bit of tank maintenance, I see something move in my left overflow. A closer look revealed two 3/16" long Bangaii fry. I guess I am amazed because they look so healthy and have grown so much. They must be eating tiny bits of flake, frozen and reef chilie that I put in the tank. I have not been feeding any artemia. I think I will leave them in there until they get a bit bigger and stand a chance in the main tank. Will make a point to get more food into that area though.
What a pleasant surprise!

Probably a nice spot for pods too!

Very cool...... Good luck

why not move them to the fuge? they are probably safer down there and its a good spot low flow they are small and the lack of high flow would be easier on them. less tiring. Plus they would have plenty to eat down there I bet theres pods bigger than them in there lol

 

[tigerslacrosse4]

any updates?

Lol that's awesome! I wish that'd happen to me. Then again, it would probably help if my tank had some livestock... Hah.

My Cardinal just released a bunch of fry last night, too. They looked really cool...little replicas of their parents. My kids got to see them and they loved them. However, today, I can't find any of them. I didn't think to look in the overflow, though. I hope I have the same luck.

thats cool. a nice school cardinals would look really cool

They are still in the overflow and looking good. Think I may move them to the fuge this weekend if I can catch them safely. Good luck with yours Rudedog. Havent found any other survivors but my male Bangaii stopped eating again so looks like we will see round two in a few weeks.
