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.

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.

The major problem you run into is the price point, vendors are selling wild caught for cheaper than captive bred enticing the market to purchase wild. As more sell the market price for wild is driven down, this creates a nasty little loop of over collection @ cheap prices. If you can wait a while i can ship you 6 of mine, they still have some growing to do (currently about the size of a loonie). An added benefit is they have been schooling from the get go, not sure about group dynamics as they age though.

I am pretty patient. I'd really like to buy captive bred.

What time frame did you have in mind?

I'd come down and get them I think. Shipping scares a bit.

there is also no one that is consistently raising cardinals.
I think this is the biggest problem as there is no constant supply of captive bred
I would definitely suggest waiting for the captive bred.

Shipping of fish is easy peasy, it's coral that can be troublesome @ times. Either way they should be ready in about a month if your still interested then.
