Sad Day....

Just a quick comment to say that anybody taking the effort to breed banggais deserves any and all recognition. Sorry to hear about your fish. Good luck in your search for a pair and in your future breeding endeavours.

No problem, just keep me in mind if you end up with another female, I will buy it from you before you take it back to the store.

Scott, it's a deal.

Might take a month or longer to determine if I get a male or female, but if it is a female, it's yours.

According to Dr Frank Marini, you would have the ideal arrangement for breeding, 2 males to 1 female. While one is holding eggs, the female will often produce another brood of eggs for the remaining male, before the first brood is even hatched, so you effectively double the potential output of babies this way! Seems fry production is limited by the amount of males available, not the amount of females.

Nature works in mysterious ways!
