One of my polka dot cardinals is holding a cluster of eggs in the mouth .. so want to remove from my garden reef tank , don't want to have eggs spat out under stress so anyone done this before , or should I just let them become part of the system. :o

The best way, is to wait till close to the 28 day period, just before the male spits them out, and you can see the formed fry. Then net the male at night. Into another tank. If some of the fry are not free swimming, then you can keep them tumbling in an airated bottle until they are free swimming.

Note that pyjama cardinal fry are a lot smaller than bangaii fry, and are usually harder to raise.
