Bangaii cardinals

[Krazykarl]

Ok so its been about 4 days now and my bangaii cardinals will not come out from behind my hob overflow. Why is this? They are not eating either... Anyone have experience with these fish. I read they are super easy to keep

This is merely a shot in the dark. as I have no experience with cardinals at all....could they be breading?

Heard they are nocturnal ever check to see if they come out when the lights are out?
Read they will also accept meaty foods and rarely flake... not sure what you tried to feeding?

I am feeding frozen seafood medley sold at the superstore. I chop it up and thaw out bits at a time. Fish love it. They just hide in the corner all day. Havent chexked about nigbt tho...

I had a similar situation with a wrasse would not eat frozen food so i tried flake food, most fish are captive bred and are raised on flakes that might help.

Well today i notice one bangaii kinda floppin around the tank, they arent eating and im gurssing slowly dying. Anyway, its swimming around, whatever, i go upstairs for a min, come back down only to find my anemone devouring the littke guy!!! Pretty expensive dinner i guess!!! I have one left if someone wants to come over and take him, maybe u can get it to eat and live. I dont wanna see it die. Asap tho, 10 bucks can hve it or a frag. Hurry before it dies!!! ThNks... Ps i wNt toadstool mush if possible!

Sorry for your loss. I had three and two paired off until the male suddenly disappeared. Now the remaining two have paired up. They eat like pigs (Marine mix, brine shrimp).

Hey Krazy weren't you also having troubles with some clowns too? How did they make out? If they died also might I suggest you stop buying livestock and figure out what is causing you so many problems.

 

[Krazykarl]

No??? Lol perhaps someone else. I only have one clown and hes been healthy for over a year! They died bc they woukd not eat. The first one got beat up...

 

[shayneh]

Sorry...now I'm wondering who was having issues with their clowns...LOL!
