    They probably will as they are a very easy and hardy fish.

    Bangai Dying of old age

    This is from Wikipedia: The Banggai cardinalfish is a paternal mouthbrooder.[4] The female plays an active role in courtship and pair formation, which occurs a few hours to a few days before spawning. Mating pairs establish spawning territories several meters away from the main group and...

    Bangai Cardinal dying from old age. These fish have a lifespan of only 3 or 4 years, this one maybe 5 years old. Bangai's have one of the shortest lifespans of all fish although some will live longer. His mate died a while ago and they spawned for their entire adult life. He has not eaten...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Thanks Mark. Actually she is a little worse today. That trigeminal neuralga is a killer pain. We went to her pain management doc yesterday but there isn't much you can do for that particular pain. The meds she is on now can reduce the pain after a few months but it makes the MS worse making...

    Choking Pipefish

    Yesterday I fed my tank as usual. Clams, mysis, new born brine shrimp and live worms. Of course all the fish, especially the copperband rushed out and try to eat everything before the next fish gets it. My Janss pipefish also but he has a tiny mouth and can't eat much food unless it is very...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    After we came back from DR (MRI, Blood etc.) I put her in bed and noticed my skimmer was just making large bubbles. I actually noticed this 2 weeks ago but I have been busy so I couldn't mess with it. I just took apart the venturi valve and it was filled with tube worm shells so I cleaned it...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    In spite of my practically ignoring my tank lately, everything looks great. My Bangai is still living although he has not eaten anything in about a month and his age is severely slowing him down. He still gets around but slower and has no interest in the things he used to like, He is also near...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have not seen this guy for months and figured he shed and got eaten by the hoards of bristleworms I have in my tank. Thats what usually happens to any crustaceans in my tank when they shed. But this little fella showed up yesterday no worse for the wear. I think I still have four more of...

    Fish are smarter than we are

    OK, I found it: WE once dove in some Island off Mexico (big mistake) and I saw this giant moray eel about 12' long. I pointed it out to the Jiboni behind me because he was taking pictures of everything. The Jiboni swims up to this giant fish and tries to tickle it under his chin like "Jacques...

    Fish are smarter than we are

    Why do I say that fish are smarter than us? Well think about it, we as 2 legged beings can go forward, backward and from side to side. Fish can do that too, but they can also go up and down, and they can do that just by thinking about it and barely moving a fin. If we get up in the middle of...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Yes, I am moving to Baiting Hollow near Riverhead. I am throwing out pounds of books including all my antique fish books and all my fish and coral textbooks. Many I have not opened in decades. I just don't have the room or will to re-locate them. I have tools specific to some cars...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My tank is really ignored now that I am selling my house. I have been throwing things out like crazy and drawing prints for my new condo to change things around as they are building it. It's about 60 miles away so it takes a little time to get out there. I can't possibly fit all my existing...
