[SweetJ]

I have had a pair of solmon Island true Percs that have been breeding for the past year or so. Also along the way i just happen to have a breeding pair of cardinals. Last batch of cardinals i got 51 fry he norm only has about 10 or so. The system is 2 33 gal drilled ran into a 40 sump. I just have the window for lighting with some supp normal output. As for filtration i Just have a Euro Reef skimmer, with some rubble in the sump. I will be working on adding water volume to the tank ;) and a fuge in the spring. I live in ND

Here is a pic of the bangai when they were a couple of days old.

[kbb0118]

Very nice! You are totally on to something there with the 33 longs. I've got a bunch of 10's and 20's and drilling each is beyong PAINFUL!

Hum....I'll be in Beulah via Bismarck March 15-19....hum....

[BeerNut]

Very cool! :beerchug:Hopefully you can sell that many clowns and cardinals in Bismarck.

[mpedersen]

I DOOOO remember ;) I can't remember your name, but I can kinda remember your face (my brain is like that).

Any chance you're going to make it to the MBI on March 13th in Michigan? Wittenrich will be speaking!

[Zylski]

Nice to see you here! I also live in bismarck his breeding setup is beyond cool!!

[SweetJ]

Sorry about taking so long on the photos. i have had the parents for over 4 years now.

[Chad Vossen]

hmmm very nice! if you make it to the frag swap, bring a few clowns with!

[dustybaker]

I thought they were regular percs. those look like Onyx!

[SweetJ]

some say onxy/ some say SI true Perc. They had the SI tag when i bought them. But you never know.

[mpedersen]

FWIW, Onyx is a phenotype, SI (Solomon Islands) is a collecting locality, so these are arguably "both"...whether the offspring will develop full Onyx coloration or not is always a dice role with any juvenile from an Onyx Pair (even my own offspring) - that's why full on adult Onyx Percs cost as much as they do (they're at least 2-3 years old).

NICE PAIR if you ask me!!!

Matt

[yell0w]

yeah they are nice. If you do come to twin cities i'm pretty sure u will sell alot. Let us know when you plan to come to the cities. I for sure will buy some clowns.

[SweetJ]

NICE hatch!

[fishtal]

Great hatch on the Banggai! I wish I could get mine to produce that many. Nice paint color in your room too. ;)

[SweetJ]

Thanks i have added several more breeding pairs of cardinals since. I now have 4 breeding pairs and some of my offspring started to carry babies. Getting to have more than expected now. i will end up bringing some of the offspring to the swap next weekend.

If you do, I would like to buy 2

[reeflover]

Nice system, and effort on the breeding! Any chance you could sell a few bangai cardinals to someone that's interested in breeding them? I have one captive breed cardinal coming, but would like to get a few from different stock for crossing. Also, I'm willing to listen to all the tips you might have on how best to raise them :beerchug:
