These are a very cool fish! Thanks for this thread Cougra! I've never kept one but would consider it if/when I get a bigger tank

I have 2 they are both males and try to run off eachother when they see another one. Mine dont eat a whole lot, very cool if you have moon lights!! They eat the babies my shrimp have, i think they have them every like 4 days or something. Awsome fish cant go wrong with a bangaii cardinal

Hi there.

I have an adult spawning pair of Pteragon kauderni. They are great fish to watch. The male holds the eggs in his mouth after the female releases them and male fertilizes. She actually coaxes him to gobble them up and hold them.

I have had a successful rearing of 24 babies, however, as they age and as they were in the same tank they turned and killed eachother.

They are cannibalistic amongst their own kind.

Best,
Ilham

Wow... very interesting Elmo! Cannibalistic babies... a bit creepy

So then to rear them, you would have to separate each baby.... yikes!
