    Sorry to hear that Matt! I lost a couple here last week, pretty depressing. Hopefully the babies make it through!

    I still have 20 more than I had a week ago, so it takes the sting away somewhat. That was our first fish lost since we set up the tank in August 2011, all streaks come to an end.

    I'm hoping the third cardinal I have that did not pair up starts coming out more and takes the old males place, but I fear it is either a female, or will lack the courage to rise to the opportunity. My big female is nasty, it was always her that did the chasing, not the male.

  4. That's too bad about the male, sorry to hear that. Was this the first clutch they had?

    It was the third, but the first when I was actually able to catch him out of the display. Last time my plan was to catch the fry after they were released. I was close, I watched him all day, because I new he was ready to spit. I went up to put the kids to bed, came down and they were gone with no trace. Talk about a wasted day.
