    I was standing by my tank about a month ago and notice my Banghia was trailing this large sack of what looked like eggs?  Anyone ever seen this before?  I'm assuming this means it is a "she" for sure.  Ideas why she would do this??
    Sorry some of the pictures are fuzzy...Enjoy!

    Yes they sure are.

    The male will then fertilize them, and take them into his mouth where he will brood them for 21 days. They will then emerge as baby banggai

    Yeah I know they are, I just haven't had a male in with this girl for quite a while.  So I wasn't sure why it was happening.  I know I had a couple batches that the male had in his mouth, but I never saw this happen before. Pretty sweet I thought! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
