FS: Banggai cardinal fry - Calgary

[EmilyB]

Thanks Brian!

I have no intention of raising them to make money on them. If that kind of good fortune smiled upon me, I would find them homes.

I am hoping to at least have a couple survive. I used to have them everywhere, sump, overflows, etc.

Best of luck with your new fry, hope they all fight (and you give them a fighting chance) to get to adulthood! :-)

If you put in the work to raise them you deserve the rewards.

So after a small containment malfunction, the kids have a home.

I saw roughly 23 up front tonight for feeding. I have a couple cleaner shrimp, hope they help with the feeding as well.

Hoping I'm past that 10 day old die off thing?

O btw I absolutely love that colorful knife urchin u made

There is no major flow in the tank at the moment. We are water changing from the sump and the tank is looking better than it has in a while, lol..

I use a syringe with a hose tube on it and feed into the urchin. Seems to work quite well actually.

Hubby made a slight calculation error with regards to the size of the holes in the containment area.....or they wouldn't be in there, trust me.

They will be getting a larger urchin made with straws this weekend to give them more room. That one was for the container.

Hoping to see them all make it to saleable age, it's good for the hobby and rewarding too!

I also looked fondly at this project but right now am not able to raise fry.

I absolutely LOVE the urchin!!! That is Awesome!!!

I want to put claim towards some of the fry once you are going to trade/sell them!!!! I have 1 now and would like 4 or so more to have a little school.....

Sure Brian! Although, they don't school when mature, they pair up.
