downhill_biker Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Found a couple more babies in the sump today. I guess when I put the male back in the tank late last night he must have released a couple more. They are now with the rest of them. Babies appear to be eating rotifers, maybe cyclopeze, but cant tell for sure. Have baby brine shrimp started hatching right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 wow man that is so cool I can't believe you have so many of them. You must feel so proud right now huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 UPDATE: All 16 babies, I think there are 16, are still alive. They are eating well and very active. So far they eat rotifers, baby brine shrimp, and cyclopeze. They are so cool!!! I will not be putting them in the awards program, as I am not even eligible, not being a "paying" member. That is ok. I will however be selling these, so let me know if you want a tank raised bangai cardinal. I will be taking orders starting now, and keep them until they are ready to go. It will be first come first serve. Once they are gone, they're gone. If for some reason you are last on the list and I lose one of them I will make sure and get you one in the next batch. I won't be collecting money until I deliver the fish. I dont know how long it takes for these guys, but I imagine it will be a few weeks. I will be selling these for $20 each, which is about $10 cheaper than anywhere online for these guys (tank raised). I am not trying to make a ton of money, just excited they are making it and healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectra Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Am interested in a pair also. Do they thrive in more than pairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 alright, you guys are on the list. dont know about more than pairs...the are schooling nicely as babies right now and know they do in the ocean, assuming your tank is big enough you could do that, but i think they become somewhat territorial (for a gentle fish) when they pair off.

CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 can I get on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 yea, CA2OR you can get on the list. How many do you want. I would recommend 2 or 3, from reading if you get 3 two will pair off and 1 will start getting picked on, get rid of the one, and you have a pair. just let me know how many you want. miles, i look forward to your visit. you are awesome!
