Redspot Cardinalfish - Apogon parvulus

Dear all,
My name is Piotr, I've been keeping this fish for over 2 weeks.
Can you inform me how long male carries spawn in his mouth?

Funny you should post this URL. I just watch this on Sunday. An amazing tank and I loved the particles floating about the tank. I'm guessing no filter socks. Looked natural.

Edit: I don't get the feeding for Romaine Lettuce though - seems it would provide no nutritional value at all. Maybe it is just easier than feeding Nori sheets but I don't know.

Funny you mention that. my old tank with the cardinals was like that too and I had filter sock on it. It just had a lot of plankton and some of them are big enough you can see them as particles.

Yeah I agree love that tank. It's mixed reef and it's gorgeous. I think we've swung too far into the SPS only emphasis in the hobby. I need to read up more on his tank.

Agreed. I'm reading up on it and also watching some more of the videos they have. I'm really enjoying them and the depth and/or layers of corals is stunning. Trying to replicate it or at least lay out my aquascape so I can get something similar. It reminds me a bit of O2manyfish's tanks with the amount of rock work he has, and fish, yet it always seems to have some depth to it. Some of you guys and gals what you do is amazing.
