![]() The males will usually carry a dozen or more in their mouth. Once he spits them out he will try to eat them if they cannot get away. You may have others hiding in your tank.

![]() it is in feeding container , I put mesh on top of the opening and put sands over it so the water could flow in and out so I dont think I need to worry about changing water on that container , I do 25% water change twice a week. I'll go get tiger pods from J&L .

![]() Even if you are not successful this time, your fish are breeding you will have about a month of the male not eating to prepare. Catching the little guys before papa or other fish eat them is the real challenge.
I have had success many years ago with Bangai. Makes you feel good. ![]() Wasn't able to get clown fish babies to survive though. This was over 20 years ago when copepods were not available, all I had was rotifers and brine shrimp. I read Martin Moe's book and was all pumped. |

![]() Congrats! He looks a bit premature to me. I've raised many batches of them. You can get about 60% of baby Banggai to eat very tiny pellets if you're patient enough. Hopefully you can wean him to pellets and that will be easier for you.

![]() If you decapsulate the brine shrimp eggs (Google it) they will hatch faster. Also, if you set the container in your sump so the water is heated they will also hatch faster. Without doing any of this, you should get some brine shrimp hatching around 20-24 hours. If you heat the water and decapsulate, you can get them hatching in 16-18 hours. However, you do not want to feed brine shrimp exclusively or you will make the baby Cardinal susceptible to Sudden Fright Syndrome (Google it). Tigger Pods would be a good option since you only have one it won't cost too much.
