I noticed my male Bangaii Cardinal fish did not eat when I fed everyone tonight and his jaw was bulging so I am assuming he has a brood of eggs in his mouth. He is still health looking and very active (I have raised mouth brooding Cichlids for years so I am making an assumption based on past experience with Cichlids). I have never raised juvenile salt water fish before and was wondering how difficult it would be to raise the babies to maturity. I understand it will be necessary to feed brine shrimp naupli. Does anyone have any experience raising Cardinal fish to maturity and if so was it worth the effort? Also how difficult is it to hatch the brine shrimp and do the Cardinal fish fry need to be removed from the reef tank?
