Wednesday, November 14, 2012 6:26 PM (permalink) 0 Hi guys, I have a male bangaii cardinal in a 70 litre reef tank with 2 black darwins clownfish He has been alone for a very long time and recently i added another female but he killed her! Since then he has been alone for the last 3 months or so. This morning I woke up and noticed his jaw was extended as if he was carrying eggs! It is still extended and when I fed him this morning he wouldnt eat either! How is this possible if he does have eggs? Is he just practising? Still as i write this he is extending his jaw.   I am so confused right now. I dont see how its possible. His belly is also a darker colour.   Please help. Would absolutely love some baby bangaiis, I have been trying for years! Dont see how its possible though so my hopes arent high at all.   Thanks,   Matt   #1 waldend Total Posts : 604 Scores: 10 Reward points : 1855 Joined: 10/5/2010 Location: Lafayette, IN, US Status: offline MBI: 310 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Bangaii Male Confusing Me!?!?

That's the only thing I could possibly think of.   #2 AusMatt Total Posts : 44 Scores: 0 Reward points : 40 Joined: 9/26/2012 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Bangaii Male Confusing Me!?!?

Sounds like you added another male. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #4 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Scores: 29 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re:Bangaii Male Confusing Me!?!? Thursday, November 15, 2012 2:24 AM (permalink) 0 Well.....I had a female drop a batch of eggs in a holding tank here without a mate....and IIRC I believe there are a couple annecdotes about females carrying briefly...so...maybe your dude, the lady killer, is another lady?  Totally just a shot in the dark whacky hypothesis.   #5 AusMatt Total Posts : 44 Scores: 0 Reward points : 40 Joined: 9/26/2012 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Bangaii Male Confusing Me!?!?
