    Default How long/old before I can give them away???

    I guess I'm lucky....

    My Bangai Cardinals breed. And often. I wasn't ready for the first couple batches, and they became fish food. The third time Mr. Man held eggs, I put him in the fuge. I thought I was ready. He spat about 24-36 babies, most of which, spilled out of the fuge and into the Mag7...once again...fish food.

    Now after modifying the fuge with a "baby guard" I have 9 left. I moved them out of the fuge and they've been in a grow out tank for a couple weeks now (they were stripping the fuge of any decent life). They are about 8 weeks old and are about <---THIS---> big. They eat both live baby brine (gut packed with phytofeast and other goodies) and some frozen cyclopeeze/fishmush etc.

    I really want to find homes for them. They are living in what is supposed to be a new above tank refugium (all the other parts are just waiting to be installed). Does anyone have any ideas as to how long I should be holding them before they can survive in another's reef?

    Once they are able to be sustained on the frozen brine, you should be good to part with them.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying
