Breeding Saltwater Fish - I know wishful thinking, but we gotta start somewhere. Hopefully we can share what we know and learn to improve the chances of other hobbyists routinely breeding saltwater fish!

Agsansoo's Banggai Cardinalfish Breeding Log

Some of you might remember me from my maroon clownfish breeding thread. This time I will attempt to breed and raise Banggai Cardinalfish. I currently have two pairs of Banggai Cardinalfish in a 65 gallon reef tank. On July 16th I spotted the largest male with babies in his mouth. Last night was the night of the fry release. For those that don't know already, Banggai's are mouth brooders.

Eggs in mouth:

Excellent! Although kept some, never had the pleasure. Congrats! As you probably know, these Bengaii are disappearing in their natural habitat due to over harvesting. Hopefully thru efforts made by hbbyist like you, we dont have to harvest anymore.
They are so CUTE!!!!!!.
Although have read in mag of successful breeding, didnt have the CLICK in my gut until I saw your babys. Very tempting. I am already thinking of setting up 45G.

Good luck with this batch and lot more to come.

Thanks cerianthus, wasn't really ready for these guys. My live BBS won't hatch until tomorrow. Hopefully I can keep them alive. I've tried frozen cyclopeeze, frozen BBS, instant BBS and otohime. They are not liking any of those.
