Babies are here!

[canadawest]

As of last night, papa Bangaii has finally spit all of the baby bangers into the real world.

I've got 20 tiny little Bangaii Cardinals!!!

Handing out cigars......

Pics to follow when Scott and I can arrange it.

In the meantime papa has been moved out of the nursery tank into my refugium for a couple weeks so I can fatten him back up and give him a quiet resting place before putting him back into the main tank to be harassed by that pestering (horny) female.

Can you imagine not eating for 4 weeks to propigate the species? And women think a couple hours of labour is difficult!!!! (ducking in advance)
