My baby cardinals think they're clownfish!

It's amazing. I'll post pictures later. I've got about 10 baby Banggai Cardinals about 3/8 inch long. I cought six and isolated them. Two seem to be doing ok in my main tank. One is in my overflow. And one is in my sump.

The two in my main tank (that I've found) have taken up residence in two of my RBTAs, for a couple of days! My two Occelaris (sp?) clowns don't seem to mind either. They wouldn't let other clownfish anywhere near their homes.

:wacko

I just found another in the main tank. All three are in the anemones.

very cool. how old are they? so, they have survived in the display tank, ehh? i've been waiting for mine to breed ever since i had to replace my female a couple of years ago.

Today's only the forth day that I've seen them but judging by their size and an article that I read, they may be 3 months old. I've had a male Cardinal that never eats with everybody else and I thought he might be carrying babies for a while. After I saw him eating with the rest of the group I decided to look around for babies and found some in my overflow.

Their numbers are dwindling. There are now three in the ten gallon, and I could only find two in anemones this morning. It's hard to find anything in the sump/refugium.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to hatch baby brine shrimp. Maybe my eggs are old.
