Well I guess the question of whether my two cardinals were male/female has been answered. One was hanging out at the back of the tank under a rock overhang for the past couple of weeks and yesterday I looked at it and it looked a bit stressed out and it's jaw was at a weird angle....hmmmm...I thought maybe just maybe it is a he and he is holding babies in there. Well left it at that.....this morning when the lights came on I was looking under my tank at my auto topoff......and I usually check my fuge/sump to make sure everything is okay and there were 4 baby cardinals cruising in my fuge.....on looking closer I see another 12 or so in the sump return section......I tried to catch them to put them in the fuge....no luck, for little specks they can move. I left them there and added some frozen cyclopeeze and hope that they can eat that....not sure. I have no illusions that they will make it....everything is against it I guess but I wonder if they would survive a ride up through the return pump to the main tank? I can't imagine the ride down the overflow........oh well if they make it great.....if not...I am sure that those two in the main will be at it again soon........
Make sure pappa is gettting plenty of food, he's probably pretty hungry.
