" That is awesome. Your ability to breed fish is impressive."Thanks Mark
"It was really cool to see. The entire night after seeing them at your shop my wife said "I want to raise cardinals"." Glad you enjoyed! I remember leaving your house saying to myself I want an Eel Garden.
"Any updates on when these will be available for sale?" Pete, you should have stopped, said hi, and seen them Saturday when you was down this way. They are still smallish but have been eating pellets for about a week now. I'm just starting them on frozen now. Maybe another 3 or 4 weeks they will be big enough?

Seriously, I want to buy some. Badly.
I would be down for a few as well! Please post when they're ready for sale!
Nice job. I still remember when Jeff Hite hatched and raised these years ago. It was one of my favorite things to watch! I had a mated pair for years. I never tried to raise the fry, but the adults were "regular" producers.
Congrats! Again.

That's awesome Shaun.For that many baby Bangaii, I would do a regular tank of at least 30 gals with good LS bed with tons of life, a pile of LR rubble, and tons of algae all over to provide good live bug spawn and live bug larvae for them to eat. If possible, plumb this separate tank as part of the system where the Bangaii parents are living. Two important advantages to this are, 1) the water is essentially the same as what they hatched in and 2) water changes are unnecessary, except as the larger system receives new water.
Here is a Mike Savage pic (my TOTM) of a good environment for Bangaii.
For Cowan, there is an easy way to capture the babies. I believe it has been written here on the forum several times. It talks about waiting until tails are poking out of Dad's mouth or just before, sneaking up on the tank after dark, flipping the lights on and immediately netting Dad, who often releases the babies right into the net. This was the technique in the the pic below. One of the released babies is visible above/behind Dad's first dorsal fin.
Aloha, Mark

Mark thanks for the info. I have them in 5 and 10 gallon bare bottom tanks, a little macro algae, and a sponge filter. No LR, no LS, not plumbed, and I wish I had more macro algae with lots of good bugs  .

Shaun you keep doing your fish raising thing!

Will you let me know when your tank raised fish are available for sale? I plan on only stocking tank raised and would be more than willing to make the trip to American Fork.
