    Exclamation 22 Baby Bangaiis! Pics!

    Well this is my first attempt at raising the baby bangers. My male went through several aborted batches in my old tank but I guess with the new tank there was less commotion and he held to term.

    Here are some pics of the babies:




    I'm raising baby brine shrimp right now to feed them and enriching them with tahitian blend cryopaste. Based on some success reported in the breeding forum I am trying to find some frozen prawn eggs to feed them but have been unsuccessful in locating them so far.

    Hopefully I can be as sucessful as some of the others on the board in raising these guys to maturity.

    FWIW, Nathan

    Thumbs up Awesome Job NATHAN!!!

    I know you probably know this already but in case you dont....A urchin (even a fake one) will increase their chances greatly for survival if you have fish/predators in the area. Good Luck....that must be so interesting Keep us informed on yer losses and what kind of headway you make

    Re: 22 Baby Bangaiis! Pics!

    They are so cute!! Great pics. My Banghaiis spawn on a even cycle. I am on my 2nd batch of babies. They are a bit of time but I just love my little babies! Mine are 3 months old. I have not lost one baby. All 26 are doing fine. My Male is now holding another mouth full, I can see the babies peeping out! I house mine is a 20gal. long and do weekly water changes so that the amonia will not build up. Those babies love to eat!! Good Luck

    Very nice pics! Best of luck rearing these guys.
    As a nation, you're faced with the choice of taking over the world or offering good eats at reasonable prices.
