Mr Miagi
Veins are flowing with SW, now going back to FW!
Theres no reason to give up if you do research, and can safely say you can afford to, and want to give your time to such a project. I was not trying to dissuade you BTW, but rather point out what is necessary for their care. Just after I posted in this thread (already surfing RC) I had a look in their Breeding Forum and came across someone who breeds Bangai Cardinals, who I know from another forum. He mentions they can take up to 4 months to reach a size that he is comfortable selling, and some that reach 6 months, and thats a single batch.
You know they are comfortable and happy though, you must be doing something right if they are mouth brooding.
