Banggai Fry

[akma]

So My male stopped eating for a few weeks. I was nervous I was going to lose him:
When I got home from work I saw little fry in his mouth:



Few hours go by and I saw babies shoot up to the top. Was able to save 2 so far and put them in my refugium/sump. Any hints and tips? Everywhere I read says they need brine. My sump/refugium is loaded with copepods, amphipods, tigger pods.

Here are the 2 that I was able to save. I see some more in the dad's mouth but he's not spitting them out yet:

So cool! My male keeps eating the eggs. How many tries before your pair got it right?

 

[akma]

I have no idea, I just got the pair from liveaquaria little over a month ago. After a few weeks of heavy eating the male stopped eating freaking me out. But I came home today to see baby fry in the mouth and now they are flying out of his mouth one by one.

That's pretty cool. Good luck in raising the ones tat you can get out.

 

[reef lover]

Excellent! Try to save all the fry you can.

I have had several survivors make it in my Refugium, currently have two that are a few months old and around dime sized bodies. They were from a group of seven from a single clutch that survived. First discovered them in my overflow box.

Thanks guys. It's exciting.

TJ's Reef: Did you feed them seperately or they fed off the pods in your refugium?

Very cool. Good Luck

Strictly on their own since being released, have purchased live pods a few times though to replenish and have watched them take frozen mysis and brine shrimp that make it into the fuge.
