| Baby Cardinal Fish I came home one day and thought I had a fly in the top of my tank....come to find out the fly(baby cardinal) was swimming around. I notice one of the parents mouth was really big. He/She was protecting the babies. Babies!!! Better pics below Babies
I have 16 netted and one swimming as it pleases in the main tank.
Little BB's with fins!

| cool stuff ,
I saw a post just the other day here on 3reef that said they have been placed on a red list .
Just goes to show that even hobbiests can breed these little marvels so why are they not being mass breed to supply the aquarium industrys?

Anyone have any ideas?
I am feeding them baby brine food. They love it!
Thanks,

| Well the 50% statement is pretty much true. I am down to 8 healthy little guys in my separate breeder cage and 1 swimming freely in my tank.
