| OK ... So if you been following this tread for a while, you'll remember I have two pairs of banggai cardinals in the tank. Yesterday the largest male's mouth has been enlarged for about a week, So I decided to take a peek down his mouth. Yeap it's full of little baby banggai cardinals ! Photos later today after the lights come on. | |

| WOW gorgeous. I will just have to keep looking at your tank and drooling. I have FW coming out my ears and I am just not ready for SW yet. But thanks to you I am getting my marine books back out and taking them for another read. I just have to keep telling myself I am out of room, I am out of room, I am out of room. Great tank...Love it!!! | |

| OK, now the photos ! It's very hard to see the little guys at this point. All I can see is a few pair of eyes in the males mouth. I'll try to get better shots in the next few days.

-Matt | Bad news ... He spat them out while I was at work, or last night.  Tonight he has his mouth shut and is taking food from me. He looks very thin. Also the female is already doing her shake dance for him. So she's ready to mate again real soon. I was really hoping to catch a few this time. | |

I looked for the babies in the corals, none could be found. Next time when I can see the fry's eyes looking back at me, I will transfer the male to a ten gallon holding tank. | |

| This really makes me want to switch my 55 gal. over to SW. But I don't have the $$ now. | |

| A 55 gallon is a great size for a SW tank. Not too big and not too small. I'm with you on the money thing. This economy stinks ! | |

| I have a friend who works in a SW fish store, so I can get some deals. But it's still going to hurt the wallet. Oh well. Maybe next year. | |
