Daddy's Got a Mouthful

It seems that the pair of Banggais that I won at MACNA are a M/F pair... the one I thought was a male hasn't eaten in a few days and has a mouthful of something[ ] Since they are still young I'm not expecting much chance of survival. The first few batches don't usually make it but, we'll see. Note: I just checked my records and I noticed the full mouth on October 30th but didn't post about it until this date. Want to keep my records straight[ ]

Try to get the fish to pose for a side view shot[ ] LOL JK I might be able to figure out what it is. I have another pair currently living in the sump. One is a medium size male the other is larger, most likely a female since they seem to get along (no fighting) but no babies either. If yours is a male I might be able to let you try my large one. I want to keep the medium size male to switch with the smaller one that is holding right now. You can't keep the same M/F together all the time or the male will end up dead from starvation. The male doesn't eat for the 20-25 days that he has the eggs... once he lets them go the female is ready to spawn again. You can see where that would end up without some recovery time between batches.

My Threadfins have breed a few times. Everyone once in awhile i see one of the males with his mouth full. There have only been a very few people have raised the fry though and they are not supposed to be easy to do..Plus right now I'm too lazy to even try. Right now I'm pretty happy with just feeding, scraping the glass once a week and water changes here and there.

Nice pics! I think that's probably a female but, I'm not an expert. How big is it? Is the body larger than a quarter?
