LF Benggai Cardinals Edmonton

[howdy20012002]

not trying to sound negative.
just thought I would give you a heads up
not sure what size of tank you have, but Benggais can be aggressive towards each other.
not saying that it happens all the time, but I have had it where a pair has 90 percent of the tank and the remaining ones have to live in the corner, being bullied by the female of the pair.
Not saying don't do it, because I know lots of people that do.
however, it may not be a great situation, especially if they start breeding.
just my two cents.

btw, I have over 30 of them, so I do have a bit of experience with them..lol
I would also try to get them from someplace that has had them for a while.
cardinals are notorious for dying for no apparent reason.

30. Nice! In a breeding system? Or all together? PICS?

I love Benggais.

Ya, ive been doing a fair bit of research and that seems to be a risk for sure. I really appreciate the advice. I have a 75g reef tank where they will be the only fish.

there's a bunch at Aquarium Illusions too but I can't remember the price. They've been there for several weeks but they're in the back room hanging out in the coral farm tanks.

We also have a bunch of them in at Marine Aquaria.

What's the cost for 6 for a good customer??

Are there any breeders out there who would sell 10 for a reasonable price

Let me see what I can do for you when I go back to work tomorrow.

Purchase captive bred please, these things breed like rabbits. I currently have 8 in my fuge that have grown and survived off of crud from my main tank.

Although plentiful in certain areas in their natural habitat they have become endangered from over collection practices.
