A spawning event, Apogon cyanosoma

[coralfarmer]

I just noticed that My male Orange Stripe Cardinalfish Apogon cyanosoma/I] in one of my fifty fives has eggs in his mouth. I don't have much info on how long the male holds on to the fry after they hatch.
I have had success in raising the fry from Pterapogon kauderrni/I]. I was wondering how much the two species differed in the care of the fry.
