Well this is the thrid time they bred. The 2 times didnt have any luck. Im going to just leave it to them and let them breed as much as they need to to be able to raise the fry themselves. Im just too lazy :P They are in a 20 gallon. No gravel with 2 slates.

I used to breed angels and I would suggest getting them a bigger tank like a 30 gal and add some tall plants, they would be more comfortable with raising the fry.

I have thought about getting them a new tank. But i have no money at the moment. I'll go buy a new 55 and divide it in half. Because i want to breed angel and discus. :)

Nice smattering of eggs there, RB! Be sure to keep us posted. How many tanks do you have now?

I currently have the one list in my sig. The eggs hatched today. I'll give some picture when its morning.

Congrats. I count between 1 and 2 hundred eggs there... it won't take a large percentage of survivors to get several new angelfish.

Thanks SM. I got a vid of the male tending for the babies. You wont really see the baby but you'll see a piece drop or babies. Theres no light for the angel just that they're close to a window so its natural light. Well hope you guys like it.

1/3 died from my powerfilter. I tried blocking it but it was too strong so i made a DIY sponge filter for it. U can see the orange belly of the angel fry if u look carefully. They have been eating BBS for 3 days now.

Yea the female was angry. She always tried to attack me. When the fry grow up i'll keep the nice ones and give the rest to my LFS fo fish credit. :)
