Reply With QuoteHi Sarah andto TR.
Banggais are in my future but right now I don't have any advice to offer.
Hi, I'm new here! My boyfriend and I are ready to have children.. Banggai Cardinals that is.I have a plan and a few questions.
I have a 34 gallon Red Sea Max, and I was going to put the male and female in there with the other fish. Once they do their mating thing, when exactly do I separate the male?
Also, when the male has the babies, is it okay if I keep the female in my main 34 gallon and put the male and the babies in a 24 gallon with a divider?
How long do I feed the male after he has the babies before he's ready to mate again?
Finally, what can the babies eat and when are they mature enough to give to our LFS?
Thanks!

Another great place for information on breeding Bangaii's is on MOFIB I moderate there and one of the people in charge of Pterapogon kauderni

Don’t be sorry for me. I do it for fun and friendship. Besides, I’m old enough to be her grandfather maybe even her GREAT grandfather. You guys read way to much into this old man’s flirtatious nature.
