Hi, Banggai fans & Dr. Marini!
After receiving our mated pair of tank-bred Banggais from the awesome Inland Aquatics (go Morgan!), we are on our third batch of fry. However, the older fish from the first batch (now 5 months old) are starting to get aggressive with each other, so I've been starting to look for homes for them in the SoCal area. One person wrote to me - he has a 180g system that sounds pretty good but for a couple of potential problems. He's got a pair of red-eye cardinals (I assume these are Sphaeramia nematoptera). Will these cardinals try to go after a Banggai? Or will the Banggai go after them? I seem to remember reading somewhere that some cardinal species are not compatible. Also, how do teenage Banggais do around large brittlestars?
Thanks very much for your advice.
Incidentally, I saw on another thread that the Banggai is about to go on the CITES endangered species listing in 2008 - which means there will be no more wild-caught imports. Go breeders - we are needed now more than ever.
