Hey @faizaandock is this the first time they are breeding? Usually the first lot gets spat out due to inexperience or disturbance of the male. You have a choice if you want to raise the fry you can let the male carry the babies till 21 days then catch him and let him release the babies or you can do what @Trev92 did in his thread http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/breeding-fish/61366-spawning-clownfish-banggai-cardinals-cleaner-shrimp.html

How does one know what sex banggi you have.
I had 2 but one died. Still fairly small in size, body about the size of a 10c coin.
I want to get a friend/mate.
Do they change sex dependent on who becomes boss.

one need to feed them fat. Males has two tieties and females one. Sorry i forgot what they called. One need to look at their bellies.

nope, Cardinals do not change sex like Anthias or clowns or damsels.

They need to be a bit bigger, id say like a R5 coin or so. But the key is actually to have them really fat, then it is easier to see what sex they are.
