published in the August edition of the magazine–a full length article about breeding the Banggai Cardinalfish titled “Six Steps to Breeding the Banggai Cardinalfish” and a hobbyist tip on establishing a ”Low Cost Tank” the last page, in the Aquarist’s Notebook section.

In the article, I relay my experience with breeding these spectacular fish (the Banggai Cardinalfish) while on vacation. While it was a bit of dumb luck at the time, it turned out that the protocol I used to get my tank ready for vacation created a few time tested spawning triggers. My account of this accidental breeding is intended to be reassuring to the casual hobbyist and a testament to the resiliency of these fish once properly acclimated to captivity (or already born in captivity). You’ll see the mistakes I made along the way, and I provide as much advice as I can cram into an article.

What better fish to highlight on Father’s Day weekend than a paternal mouthbrooding species. Glad my Father didn’t have to carry me around in his mouth for 21 days–that would just have been awkward. Please check out the article if you subscribe to Aquarium Fish International–or if you pick it up at a pet store or news stand and let me know what you think.
