Bangaii Male Confusing Me!?!?
-
Wednesday, November 14, 2012 6:26 PM
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

Is there a possibility he has been fighting with the clowns and dislocated his jaw? That's the only thing I could possibly think of.

How long were they together before the new one was killed? Sounds like you added another male.

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.
