I am starting to wonder if there is something different in our RO/DI water over here. How many people have accidentally raised baby clowns? (By accidentally, I mean, it wasn’t in the plan, but nature did its thing and I raised the babies) I can’t imagine its a lot. How many people have accidentally raised baby bangaii cardinals? Now, how many have done both?
ME! ME! ME!
Yep, that’s right! First it was clowns having babies. And now its bangaii cardinals. Well, to be fair, they aren’t my babies. They came from my neighbor’s tank. But, they are growing up in my basement. (I had the room and the experience)
I have been reading a lot on the babies. They are in a 20g long, but only 1/2 to 2/3 filled with salt water. They have some dead coral in there to act as a safe haven but have not taken advantage of it. There is a sponge filter and heater int here and some airstones to provide slight circulation.
I am rearing them on both Cyclopeeze and live baby brine shrimp. The goal is to have them eating frozen too so they don’t starve when they are older.
So, without further adieu, here are some pics and video of 24 baby cardinals!
This video was taken at day 7!
