I have a pair that is breeding but I have not had luck. The male keeps swallowing the eggs.    #9 FlynnFish Total Posts : 212 Scores: 0 Reward points : 457 Joined: 4/10/2011 Location: Warren, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 605 Pnts MBI Site: Captive Reefs.com Re:Banggai Rescue Breeder "All Call" - looking for collaborators Friday, May 4, 2012 8:24 PM (permalink) 0 i'm in too! but i'm in the same boat as Cuda and Road. mine wont hold past day 3.   #10 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:Banggai Rescue Breeder "All Call" - looking for collaborators Friday, May 4, 2012 9:09 PM (permalink) 0 Will there be a focus on artificial incubation? I bought a mag stirrer just to experiment with banggai eggs with it.

I bought a mag stirrer just to experiment with banggai eggs with it. Crazy I know.   HA...yes, AI is one of my main focuses for research.  I think most people here know that the only way I got ANY baby banggais was through AI years ago.  I've seen some people build on my success in that dept.  Still, what we need is a method that allows you to strip a fish on day 1 and incubate all the way through.  That would be the gold standard.  Maybe someone thinks they have it...if I can replicate, we're all collectively good to go.  If not, well, that's why I have 8 tanks set up JUST for artificial incubation experiments.   #13 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Banggai Rescue Breeder "All Call" - looking for collaborators Friday, May 4, 2012 10:13 PM (permalink) 0 My current pair has spawned three times now, and held for 2 days, 2 days, and 3 days.  Frustrating.  On their next spawn I will be stripping the male as soon as I see his mouth full.  I've had limited success with AI in the past, so I'm interested to figure out a sure-fire method.    #14 seaweed88 Total Posts : 103 Scores: 0 Reward points : 510 Joined: 10/8/2011 Location: Elkhart, IN, US Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Banggai Rescue Breeder "All Call" - looking for collaborators Saturday, May 5, 2012 8:03 AM (permalink) 0 I have recently acquired a pair That I have high hopes for. If I can be off assistance you can count me in.   #15 Caesra Total Posts : 317 Scores: 2 Reward points : 195 Joined: 7/4/2011 Location: Cherry Valley, IL, US Status: offline MBI: 80 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Banggai Rescue Breeder "All Call" - looking for collaborators Saturday, May 5, 2012 11:45 PM (permalink) 0 Of course, you can count me in.  90% of my focus in breeding has been in bangs.  Own way to many and play with them way to much when I can.   #16 Umm_fish?

I haven't reared a ton of them, but I think I was pretty early in rearing them on non-living food and in higher-flow tanks.   Also, I'm a fair to middlin' proofreader. --Andy, the bucket man.
