Mirrors

[Ghumbee]

Has anyone tried using small mirrors outside their tank to confirm that their Banggai is a male?

I have heard that the minute you put another male in,the established male will attack.


May save the lives of a few fish :)

Also,
Can anyone describe the actions of two Banggai's as they are pairing? Subtle dance or more aggressive dancing. Mine seem to be doing a more aggressive dance than what my clowns used to do but there is no chasing, nipping,etc. They continue to stay within a few inches of each other.

I believe mine are now approx 6 months old. I got them off of a fellow reefer that breeds these locally so I am pretty sure of the age.

Thanks,
Chuck

That is a good idea,

I did that withh bettas when i bred them, Gene Lucas said it was healthy for them to get exited, may work for the banggais
