Bangaiis expecting!

[wattsupdoc]

I just went to feed my 135 and noticed the 2 bangaiis didnt come up when feeding. They staed reclusivley in a little corner in the rocks. Upon further investigation, I found that onreof them had 3 eggs hanging out it's mouth. At least thats what it looked like. I went and got my son to check it out. Grabbed my camera and before i could get a pic of the eggs he slurped them up. But his mouth is like stuffed full. Heres a pic. This is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!

I bought this pair from this site and requested a male and femakle if it was possible for them to s e x them.... I guess they did!!!!

Can someone support what I saw? Does this look like your bBangaii did when packing?
HAHA! I was sooo excited look at all the typos! Heres another pic. You can see the gills are really stretched out.

I've been watching them for some time now. The female keeps hovering below the male. Keeping close quarters to the male ummmm anal fin area. She is frequently "vibrating"....thats the best word for it as shes not wagging or anything like that. Something is very different for the two of them today.!

Very exciting day.

Well "granma" wont get on board here with "granpa", so there not gonna get a real pretty nursery.

But I''l have some soda pop bottles bubbling away here real soon and I'm making provisions for some little corner to stuuf a 10 gallon for raising them. Probably tomorow I'll get to gather all that stuff up.

I just cant figure out how for the life of me I'm gonna name all these.

It took months just for my wife and I to come up with our sons name.

Yes, Azfishgal has done an awesome job with hers. We are lucky to have Frank Marini here on this board, as well as Banguy.

So I just talked to my LFS guy, he said he'll buy these from me for 8 bucks a piece when tiny, more for bigger ones. Is that a good price for them? Of course I plan on matching a few pairs up and giving them to some hobbyists on here who will be dedicated to breeding them. As I mentioned in another thread. I will also keep another pair from this first batch. I have a 29 gallon that I will divide and keep these 2 mated pairs in, then I'm going to build some kind of custom grow out tank in the bench of my 135 with 3 or 4 compartments to raise the fry in. This way, they will all be contained in/under the 135. I picked up a breeders net, I might do this first batch initially in it, untill they need more room. Also got an air pump, some airstones and hard air line to start raising the BS with. I'll probably put that together this weekend.
