Pajama Cardinal

[PiR8]

I just saw my pajama cardinal with what looks like eggs in his mouth. He is opening his mouth and sticking them out like he were sticking out his tongue. My question is is this what is happening or is the something wrong with him

Thanx for the input

He very likely has eggs in his mouth. They will move them around and push them out and back in to aerate them.

If you've got a pair or more, than it is most likely eggs.

Thank you for the responses,
What is the incubation period?
Also should I move them out of the main tank into a nurse tank?
What food should I feed the fry?
Sorry for all the questions.. I was not prepared for this as you can tell. I do however want to make this work for the sake of the parents.

Thanks again
Greg

This is a pretty good place to start and gives references to find more.

BTW, I found this by googling "pajama cardinal scientific name" and then using the scientific name along with "larvae rearing."

Good luck!
