Which fish?

elliottb · 03-18-2008, 06:07 PM

I have been wanted to try my luck with breeding fish. My two options that I am willing to try are either yellow head jawfish, or cardinals...Whcih would YOU pick?

Bangaii cardinals

Yellow headed jawfish are incredibly shy and hide most always...even the tank bred ones. Plus the bangaii are so cool looking

No question for me, the jawfish. They have a fascinating courting ritual and interesting method for brooding the eggs as well as being fun and comical fishes. They are an enchanting species!

dont know much of anything about breeding either one. but if i were to try one i would have to go with the jawfish.

Thanks for the opinions everyone! For those who picked "What does breed mean?" It is basically making the fish have babies and raising them to adulthood.

Banggai Cardinal fish
Maybe if we breed enough of them there will be no reason to pull them from the one and only place in the world you can get them.
