I’ve been working with a pair of Banggai Cardinals. Their first three attempts resulted in a male with a mouth full of eggs that mysteriously disappeared at around 25 days. I guess he couldn’t take the rigorous fasting. There fourth attempt I kept the female with him (the first three spawns I removed the female as recommended). The day before traveling to Dallas for MACNA, I found these two hatchlings. GREAT, but how to keep them alive while I was gone for 5 days. Giving my wife instructions and prayer worked. Here they are 14 days post hatch.

Now I’m feeding the pair up looking for the fifth spawn and more success.

I've bred a two generations of baggai cardinalfish, I believe they are fourth generation captive bred now. I've also gotten pseudochromis fridmani (orchid dottyback) and cypho purpurascens (oblique lined dottyback) fry up to 30 days/metamorphasis. The first time getting them to meta I don't know what I did wrong to lose all the fry. The second time I got up to 30 days the power went out for a day so I lost all my food cultures and all my fish fry. I also lost the breeding pairs. I currently have breeding pairs of the banggai cardinalfish, orchid dottyback, indigo dottyback, tail spot blenny, and cleaner gobies. I just don't have any rotifers or other zooplankton on hand to raise the fry currently. I'm currently in the middle of a breeding with sepia bandesis (dwarf cuttlefish).

I found some pictures of the orchid dottyback fry from an old post of mine. These are 18 days post hatch.
