Holly Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I made this video of my pj cardinals several months ago but just got it uploaded on YouTube. The male has a mouth loaded with eggs. I noticed that the males would usually start courting females about a day or two before they emptied the present brood out of their mouths. I had two males and five females, and both males were constantly mouthbrooding for a few months. No idea why, but they suddenly stopped breeding (scratch) and never resumed. I wish I could figure out what caused them to stop, because I really enjoyed watching them and would love to get them breeding again... :( Never saw any fry, of course. The other tank occupants ate them I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Nice. Thanks for sharing. If they do resume courting, you should try giving the fry to barelycuda to try to raise them. dsoz:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
