    Additional Information
    Miscellaneous Information: The female of my pair died about two weeks ago. I thought i lost my male cardinal. the "female" wasn't eating since i lost the "male" thinking she lost her mate and was in some state of depression. i went to the store got another cardinal, place it in my 24 nanocube. caught the "female" cardinal out of the sump, placed "her" in a bag and into the 24 nano. I left for a few minutes to let the bags temperature acclimate. went back to see my "female" with eggs in the bottom of the bag! I removed the now male from the bag after proper acclimation and placed them into a breeder net in the tank with the now hatched larval fish to make sure he wasn't going to spit out more. after a few minutes I removed the male from the net. After speaking with Tal, I tried to see if the male was going to eat anything and he didn't, so I assume that he may have more eggs in his mouth. I've seperated the male from other cardinal that is in the tank so that there is no probability that anthing bad will happen to him.

    Went to check on the fish early this morning and the male cardinal (Buba) spit out 8 more babies. there are 18 total now, male still looks like he could be holding more, if so i 'll have to strip them from him as I will be away for a while and dont want him to eat any he may spit out during that time.
