BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I netted the male to strip him, and he spat them into the net for me.

One got squished in the process, but there are 13 little bangers that suck at swimming!

The male is pretty stressed out over the ordeal...

Congratulations, that is very cool! Make sure you keep us posted on how you make out raising the babies. I am still on for Weds. to pick up the other male Bangaii.

I think it is a male. By no means am I guaranteeing such! Thanks for taking him. I need the room for the babies. Hoping I can raise them to sale size.

mine would eat frozen baby misis right away if you havnt got any live ones goin yet,also feed them like 5 times a day.
one batch my male spat out where still to young to swim good and mostly got picked off my bristle worms so beware depending where you have them

Way to go.

. Good luck with the brood. As mentioned, mine ate
Cyclop-eeze but I believe they ate baby Mysid shrimp first.

I shot a blast of newly hatched baby brine shrimp soaked in Selcon. I think the babies ate a bit. I'm not going to be able to feed them 5x a day as I work 8-6. Hopefully they'll be ok with 2-3x feeding. The quicker I can get them on Cyclopeeze the better. I have them in one of those "net breeder" things, and the baby brine go right through the net...

I'm going to have to figure out a better way to do this for the next batch.

Also, need to figure out a fake urchin for them to encourage swimming.
