My Bangaii pair took about a 6 month hiatus since the last full-term brood, although the male has carried eggs three times since but aborted each time. This leads me to believe that they are seasonal breeders, but this is just an observation and certainly not based on any natural facts.

Well I'm a grandpa again, and boy have I got a lot of little mouths to feed. :eek:

It has been worth the wait! The last brood (and largest of the first three) born was 20 fry of which 12 survived to selling age. This brood, has almost 40 fry born (there are so many I can't count them accurately yet as they are so small and wont stay still to be counted! [img]smile.gif[/img] )

I'm hoping to have a high survival rate, and will keep you posted on the progress. For those who expressed interest over the past 6 months for adding captive raised Bangaiis to their tanks, there will hopefully be many to choose from in about 6 weeks time!
