My cardinals have finally began breeding again, this is their second attempt. The male has had the eggs for 6 days now so hopefully he'll decide to keep them this time. If he does there should be about 25 fry let out of his mouth in about 17 more days. During this time he doesn't eat, so if he didn't get enough food before he might eat/spit out the eggs. Here is a video I took of him, it shows him adjusting the eggs in his mouth so you can see them. (time 1:36)

And a photo of him showing his largish jaw. He isn't in this photo but he loves hanging out by our long spine urchin now that he has eggs, once he lets the fry go they will need the urchin for safety.
