Time To Introduce My Newly Acquired Breeding Stock
After having reasonable success with breeding Amphiprion ocellaris (and struggling to sell the offspring :confused:) I have been planning my next challenge.
For some time I have been interested in the Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) partly due to the threads posted up by @Dr. Schell. A few weeks ago I became aware of a hobbyist in the North of the State who was closing down his tank - he had a pair that had bred a number of times in his tank - if nothing else, that overcomes the problem of trying to pick a male and female .
After a few hiccups, I collected them this afternoon (1 February 2014) after a few hours on a bus from Launceston....
Excuse the coralline on the glass :rolleyes - this is just after the bag was put in my tank. By this evening they had settled in well and were attacking the pellets - my other fish have shown no interest from what I have seen. I assume the male is on the right ??
@Dr. Schell - from memory you also had yours in your display tank - how did you go about collecting the fry ?
