About 4 months ago I purchased a pair of bangaiis and hoped I had a male/female pair. Well I guess my questions were answered. This morning I found 4 babies in my fuge and another dozen or so in my sump return section. I had noticed on adult hiding in the bank under a rock overhang and last night I thought his mouth looked distended and I thought he may be brooding......guess I was right. My question is.......what are the survival chances of any of the fry? I can't access the ones in the return without shutting down and just about draining my sump.....the ones in the fuge part are hiding out in the cheato and gracillara algae. I grated up some frozen cyclopeeze this morning before work and put that in the fuge. I realize that they probably won't make it as I am not set up to hatch brine or anything.....not sure if I should try or not.....
 
COOL! take some pics!
 
Not sure how I missed this post...I LOVE cardinals- do you happen to have any pictures??
 
ahh well its old i know but a mate of mine insists the fry need a urchn to live in, i belive the guy as he has a good succes rate.
