Bangai Cardinal

10/13/2007. I populated my fish livestock from an initial buy from That Pet Place. I bought enough to get free shipping and probably overbought as a consequence. LFS' in the area are rather expensive and this was just the way I chose to start out. Anyway, my stocking plan came from Mike Palletta's marine aquarium book and it included Bangai cardinals. Little did I know that wild-caught bangai's had a very poor survival rate. The three that I bought died within a month - the first two died within 2 weeks. Since I figure that I was overstocked to start, I made no effort to replace them.
