This tank-raised baby Banggai Cardinal measures about 1.5 inches and popped out of its daddy's mouth about 7 months ago. I fed it baby brine shrimp (BBS) for a while, but now it exists solely on whatever it can find swimming about in the refugium. I'm putting it up for sale since I've got a new batch of Banggai's to manage.
Here's a comparison of the two different generations. The new generation has about 9 surviving members last time I counted. About 5 others didn't survive the transition because I handled them harshly or they were somehow maimed on their way out of the main tank to the sump.
I think the older sibling is being tempted by their bite-size-ness.
