      Question Banggai Cardinalfish

      I finished setting up my 40 gallon for the Cardinals.
      Had them in a 20 gallon for a few weeks, before the upgraded to the 40 gallon.
      Hoping they will breed, but i think they are 2 females.

      Anyway.

      Question.

      I tried to feed them flake food for the first 2 weeks, they would try it but then spit it out. So I have been feeding them baby guppies, i have a endless supply of guppies. Is it a bad thing to be feeding them fresh water fish?

      .

      I read somewhere that it's not good to feed freshwater fish to saltwater fishes. Try feeding them mysis shrimp. Mine love them and this is the second time they breed in a month. Good luck

      yeah i read about the jawline, but i looked and don't see a difference.
      I'm to cheap to buy another one but it looks like i'm going to have to get a third and hope it works out. my luck i'll end up with three females.
