  Frank Marini - FAQ on Banggai Cardinals
My reason is that when the banggais are juvenile and not sexually mature they will school together.
I had repeatedly tried to isolate freshly impregnated males and found that within a day or 2 after capture that they are no longer holding eggs, so I assume that the swallowing of the eggs is a stress response and/or a protective measure.
Yes this is the most common problem I encounter with Banggais, its a lip tear and subsequent fungal infection.

 Frank Marini, "Captive care and Breeding of the Banggai cardinal fish Pteragon kauderni"; January 31st, 1999 on ...
Banggai cardinals are excellent aquarium fish, and appear to get along with most other tank inhabitants (remember they will eat shrimp, and small fish).
I assume since banggais are a marine fish captured from the wild that they are susceptible to all marine aquarium ailments, but I have been fortunate in this regards as to only experience 3 problems which have been common to banggais.
As the weeks progressed the larger banggai babies would out compete their siblings, and fish would die due to starvation, this was a common problem which I would remedy by removing the larger babies.

 Banggai
The saltwater Banggai Cardinal fish comes from a small area in Indonesia and may be added to the endangered species list because of the fishing practices in that area of the world.
One popular trait of the Banggai is that they are mouth brooders which means the male incubates the eggs in its mouth.
The Banggai also makes an excellent addition to a saltwater tank because it does not eat coral and is not an aggressive fish.
