 |
| 5/24/01 - Male Banggai Cardinal is getting extremely thin. If he gets any thinner he will spit out the babies prematurely. |
 |
| Eggs hatched 5/21/01. This pic shows three of the babies peeking out of dad's mouth. |
 |
| Nine babies were captured on the mornng of 5/29/01 and placed in the refugium to hopefully grow and prosper. |
 |
| 6/5/01 - Two babies are MIA. I thought it might be because they weren't getting enough food. While experimenting with the food delivery system I saw a crab come out of the sand and almost catch another baby. The crab was given to Stomper (the mantis). Dad (Al) has a mouth full of eggs again. |
