Banggai release date during MACNA, pull or not before

I currently have a male Banggai holding eggs. The 21 day mark to pull them is right during MACNA on September 4. My wife will be home when I am gone but I really don't want to leave her with more than I have to since she will be home with a 2 month old and an almost 3 year old. I am thinking of 3 options. 1) Pull the babies before I leave, which is Thursday Sept 2. 2) Pull the babies after I get back which is late Sunday night 3) Pull the babies before and put them in a vat of green water until I return.

Yeah I would be home the day after. I just don't want him to spit them out while I am gone either.

Then, you may have to pull before you leave.

If you pull them one or two days prematurely, they will do just fine in a tumbler with the circulation. If you do something like my vase setup with the controlled water feed, you can even submerge the top and once they're up and swimming they can leave the vase on their own accord. Just be sure FOOD is ready while you're gone. Strip that male and they'll be fine!

Oh and BTW, greenwater with these guys is going to be worthless. They need copepods or baby brine shrimp. Someone is going to have to feed in...rotifers...I have a hard time believing they'd even elicit a feeding response.

Pretty much decided the I am going to pull the eggs on Wednesday before I leave for MACNA, which would be Day 18. I set up a nursery in an unoccupied 20G that I have plumbed into my broodstock system Here a couple of pics. Makeshift egg tumbler Fake urchin

I went down and took a look this morning and everything looks good. Right now they look like tiny larvae with a yolk sac attached. Some of them look like they are trying to swim.

Got back from MACNA last night. The eggs were pretty much the same as when I left. I think that I lost some of them. However this morning, I starting to see little Banggai emerge from the yolk sacs. They haven't completely hatched yet but probably will do so in the next couple of days

Glad to hear so many made it this far. Obviously, benefit of hindsight, you probably could have waited to pull them...

The tank upstairs runs warmer than the tank in the basement. Oh well, at least it looks like I will have some fry to work with

Pics are a bit fuzzy but I would say that you should be working on a settlement report...
