FT/FS tank bred Banggai Cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni)

[BrianH]

The baby fish are growing up and have fully transitioned from eating live foods to a frozen food diet. They are eating everything I put in the tank (pe mysis, Rod's original, hikari spirulina brine shrimp, cut up small pieces of Elite Reef feast, shredded table shrimp) It's time to send the kids out into the world!

Here's the deal:

-I will accept, in trade, 1 frag of any coral no matter how small or common for 1 tank bred banggai cardinalfish.
... If I don't already have it (FYI I already have an aptasia :acne
-PM me with what you have.

OR

-You could buy one for $10 which is totally boring and costs you money and is not as fun. (but acceptable)

Pickup must be scheduled with me between now and Tuesday morning.
Thanks!

Here's what you need...

Awesome! Wish I had room for more fish! Nice work and great deal.

Could you possibly meet half way between FoCo and Broomfield? I have some Kenya tree frags, a green paly frag, a zoa/paly frag, and two decent zoa frags that I would spare.

I have never had a Kenya tree, that works for me. I could meet you at 144th and I-25 sometime.

Would you be interested in a few stalks of pulsing xenia attached to a snail shell? Or a frag of some unknown "fugly" zoas (as I call them)? There are pics of the zoas in an ID thread that I started a few days ago.

I would be putting him/them into a 25 with a fairy wrasse and an existing bangaii that's about medium sized not huge. How many would you recommend getting i was thinking 2 to have a school of three total. Do you think that would work in my tank?

I have a couple different zenias already but I dont have any "fugly"s, bring them on over!

You sure? Here's a pic

Not sure if their "real" name, but that's what I call them. I'll frag some for you get them on a plug for you if you are still interested.

I have a bunch of frags. Not sure if you have been to our house yet though

I'm not an expert but I would recommend only doing 1 more. Even though they are generally peaceful when they get older, males can be territorial towards their own species. And, while they are small now, they can grow to 3".

Part of my deal was I will trade for anything as long as I don't have it. I don't have those.

Sweet! I have two plugs, one with three polyps and the other with 5. This was my first time fragging zoas, so give me a day or two to see if they recover (if that's cool with you).

Sounds good, congrats on your first zoa frags!

 

[BrianH]

After the ones going out the door later today, I have 9 left. I will be home most of the day today and tomorrow if anyone wants to come get one. Tuesday night I will be taking whats left to the LFS to make room in the tank for the next batch.

 

[BryanF]

Sent you a pm!

 

[lesserwhirls]

Ok, so one if the three polyp frag has opened - the other two polyps may gave been casualties of superglue :-(

The five polyp frag looks more promising, but so far none have really opened. Here is a pic of both (a little fuzzy):

Would you like to try both?
