Hi all, I adopted 2 Angel fish from bro Henry - fellow hobbyist from AQ. To my surprise, they just spawned today. I'm totally new to fish spawning. Hope that you guys can advise me.
The eggs are on my anubia leave, do I need to remove them and isolate? Can see that the parents are guarding the eggs when cardinal tetra swim close.
When should I expect to feed the fries if successfully reach free swimming? Which product would u recommended?
Should I maintain my weekly water change? Normally about 30-50%
Any other advise? Thanks in advance.
In my opinion, there are two ways, you taking out the leaf and hatch them yourself or hope that you have good parents. The fries would need small live food if you want high survival, commerical food might still yield you some. Good luck.
For my apistogramma, i use hakari first bite and interpet liquifry no.1.
Tommy, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, all eggs gone...i didn't separate them and leave it in my tank. 2nd day, start to see some white infertile eggs and cleared by the parents. 3rd day can see the wiggling tail, but the quantity become lesser...can also see the parents guarding the eggs and pick up dropped eggs...I think they are not bad as parents, but my tetra did steal some eggs and probably too stressful for the parents to guard the eggs. Next time I shall isolate my tetra and see if it will be better.

Hi Gimchng, they will spawn again in one or 2 weeks, just feed them well. If they are good parents they will protect the fry, if not either you have to remove the parents or the eggs to another tank and do artificial hatching by air bubbles on the eggs. Fry will wriggle on 3rd day and free swimming on the 7th day and then start feeding BBS. You can check my link here: http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...abel-Juveniles
Somehow my Santa Isabell wrigglers appeared on the 2nd day, normal angel on the 3rd day.
Happy Angels Keeping!

Thanks Eric. I took the chance to rescape a little bit since eggs are gone, and prepared a Daiso DIY 5 liters isolation box for my tetra if the Angel spawn.

The pair spawned again today. Very productive..I have another issue with my tetra (I started another thread). Hopefully doesn't affect the Angels.

Angelfish fry need special attention. The parents may eat the new hatchlings after lovingly taking care of the eggs. If you are lucky, you may find a pair which takes good care of the young from egg to adult. To be on the safe side, it is better to separate the fry from the adults. Since your angelfish pair breeds every two weeks, I am sure you will gain a lot of expetience soon.
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
Ya, 2nd batch got eaten as well...I think I have to find space to setup separate tank for them...

now that you know you have a breeding pair, best to separate them if you want to see the fries.
Ya, few more batches of eggs gone...They doesn't seems to learn...
Besides, any suggestions on algae cleaning crew that ok with Angel fish besides otto? Mystery snails?

like what seagul said, is best to leave the pair alone.
CHeers..
Ya, I know that need to separate them in order to see fries, but I don't have space for a separate tank. No choice, have to leave it to nature...Thanks for the advise. Cheers...

Hi there,
I've kept angelfish for some time and have been through many breeding cycles. What you need to do, if you really want them to survive, is to separate them from their parents before they are hatched. This is because they will not survive in a community and it will stress the others to death when the parents go all crazy over protecting their young. Also, the parents take some time to get into the hang of breeding. Hence give them 2 or 3 times to get it right. Happy fishkeeping!
Cheers

Sorry to hijack this thread. I've fries in my scalare only tank (9 adults). The pic is from last night (sorry pic is very blur). This is the 2nd spawn. The first wasn't successfully. Am not sure what to do next? Do I transfer them to a breeding tank or leave it along for the moment?
transfer the fry to another tank asap before eaten up by others' adult.
CHeers...
Tks. Too late. By the time I go get another tank, all fries are gone. Hopefully the next round it will survive as I'm better prepared after reading up.
You can try using deviders provided your tank does not have driftwood.... Used that to keep the other nosy fish out of the corner the frys were shoaled.... generally angelfish are good parents and will do their best to keep their young alive.
