atrox Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Was doing some night feeding and noticed these little guys everywhere Now what, I wasn't ready for this and some have already made it to the sump. I've got the pumps off and I'm trying to place em in a Tupperware for the time being until I can get to the pet store for a breeder box. Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 What??? I've heard breeding them was easy, but holy cow. Good job man. Link to comment
anizato Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Baby Kaudern Cardinal?! so cool! how many? I wonder what you will do with them ...following this! Link to comment
DriftingNemo Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I would get a small 10 gallon tank set it up as a grow out tank for these guys, no sand just a little bit of rock. How many do you think you have? Link to comment
aquariumlover10 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Folowing, hopefully they survive, maybe you can get a few more tanks for a breeding setup Link to comment
atrox Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 So far I've counted 16, they are eating reef roids. My wife finally gets this hobby now she is in mom mode looking after the babes Link to comment
RK_tek Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Separate tank and use an air pump with a sponge filter so the babies don't get sucked through any impellers or powerheads Link to comment
atrox Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 How bout one of those floating mesh breeder boxes Link to comment
basser1 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 What??? I've heard breeding them was easy, but holy cow. Good job man. The breeding part IS easy. It's the raising of the fry that's the hard part! Believe me I know..... I didn't have a baby brine shrimp hatchery for mine, so I substituted with frozen BBS and cyclopeeze. I also made a fake urchin for them with a ball of epoxy and some wooden steak skewers..... Babies in Mr. Urchin.... Link to comment
DriftingNemo Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 If you succeed in raising these little fellas (which I hope you do), what will you do with them? Link to comment

atrox Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 If they survive, I'll just trade em to lfs for credit Link to comment
DriftingNemo Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 As long as you get a decent price for them, the LFS would probably sell them for a higher price than wild caught ones. Link to comment
RC1313 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Way cool! Congrats on the babies Link to comment
basser1 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Unfortunately no. I got lax on the tank cleaaning. I was not prepared for the extra work, so I ended up trading them to my LFS for store credit. Link to comment
