Hi everyone,
whilst browsing a shop a while ago I saw a tank containing a pair of what were labelled as "flame cardinal damsels." They looked like an Apogon sp. but I wouldn't know which. Does anyone know anything about what they were likely to be and their breeding behavour? The reason I asked was their behaviour was very broody. One looked to have a bulge in the throat and they stayed very close together. The price was 10 english pounds which I think is about 7 dollars each. I don't have a tank at the moment or otherwise I would've been very tempted. My dad used to keep a lot of african mouthbrooding cichlids and he agreed they looked paired. I'm interested cos we here a bit about bangais and pyjama cardinals breeding but I've never heard of success with any others.
