downhill_biker Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have a pair of Bangaii Cardinals and noticed a couple days ago that one of them had its mouth gaping slightly, every day since then its mouth has been getting fatter and fatter. I know the male holds the babies in his mouth, but I need some help. How long until the babies come out? What do I need to do to keep them alive?

Rob Allen Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Babgaii's hold their fry for about 20 days (+ or -). I have a friend that just experienced his holding them for over 30 days which is the longest I have ever heard of. The only thing you really need to do once the male releases them is to get them away from other fish that will eat them. Placing them into a pod infested refugium is a good option, as long as there isn't a way for them to get sucked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
