"Ornamental fish"... It sounds so funny. Like we breed them, dry them out, and hang them on trees.

well i have been trying for 3 days now to catch the egg carrying cardinal ... its been about 3 weeks now since he quit eating and i am afraid that since i cant catch him he will just have to release the eggs into the DT ... i will have to keep an eye on things ... it seems like the other 3 females have been bothering him constantly ... i sure hope they arent attempting to try to spawn already ... the male needs to eat and recover before taking on the task again ... maybe i will have better luck next time catching him ... i doubt it though

Its a pain to catch fish out of a reef tank.

Now thats the attitude I'd take:mrgreen:
Dustin,I really dont think that Goose has enough time for me to catch that cardinal.Go back and look at just how long I hunted that mantis shrimp:D

You need to round all those guys up and get them in a propagation tank of some sort. Cool video, reminds me of a night in the club, guy wont dance girl rubs all up on him to get him ready. Cool video.

Cool video. Good luck catching them. These are fish that need to be breed in captivity, because there numbers are being dropped because of pur hobby.

That's the most interesting thing I ever seen a bangaii do.Much better than just hovering in one place all the time.Great video,I wish you luck.
