Awesome, my bengai have had babies several times. If you watch your fish you will notice the males bulging mouth when they spawn. Generally the male will hold the young for 18-24 days. They generaly won't spit them all out at once. I happens over several days. My first batch I kept watching the size of the males mouth thinking they would spit them all out. Then noticed 3 babies swirlling around in my skimmer. They usually have a lot more then 4 so he may have released some already.
