They seem so closely related to Bangaii Cardinals, you would think they would be just as easy to raise.
 Good luck. As I recall, you have raised a few other fishes, right? ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Yes, I have raised other fish, but can always use suggestions/ideas. Pajamas have a platonic larval stage it takes about 30 days to meta. Male only holds them for about 8 days till they hatch. Rotifers for first 10 to 14 days. ------------- Shaun American Fork "Would you leave a dead cat in your kitchen till tommorow?" Builderofdreams |

Spawns on 12/14 and12/24 were gone after 4 days. Spawn on 1/3 gone after 7 days, maybe I was off a day on spawn. Male disappears for 2 or 3 days at a time so its hard to tell. ------------- Shaun American Fork "Would you leave a dead cat in your kitchen till tommorow?" Builderofdreams |
