4. the soft tissue between the tiny bones in their fins separates... then they grow back together

Skin:
1. sometimes white fleshy sores appear on their sides... then next week they're healed and fine

And finally, one of them in particular over the last month has developed a LARGE CHIN. The first time it happened for 3 days, then again it happend for 4 days. During this large chin phase it doesn't eat, it chases food like its going to eat it but then just watches it fall??? The other 2 eat just fine.

An ideas or advice? Discuss? I keep thinking about posting as i haven't found any info searching

And now back to the ops original question regarding his cardinal fish......not to be rude about the discussion on fish and tank size, but holy hijacking a thread!

And seeing as how more interest has been given to "Scribbles" (Rabbitfish) here's a pic too.
If he could talk I'm sure he'd be stoked people are talking about him...the supermodel of my tank... (and a PHOTOBOMBER!)
Have had him for 8 months, Started out 2.5" long, and is now a whopping 3" long... If he gets too big for the tank i'll either sell him or buy a bigger tank, no big deal, he says thanks for the concern!

Thanks to Rice Reef for standing up for me
I've been around since the dawn of internet forums and have left many for the reason of off topic posts. If you have something off topic to say than go start your own topic... Considering the first mention of the the Rabbitfish was from Myka, it's all good. I really appreciated his "Guide to calcium" it taught me a lot! My corals and knowledge will be forever grateful

The large chin on one of them is back, heres a pic in case anyone wondered...
The holding babies in its mouth makes some sense but not sure about 3 times in 1 month? It ate supper last night but wont eat tonight since developing the chin

Kinda hard to see with the background color but its the one on the bottom
