Bro, do you see any deformity among their spawn? Like missing ventral fins?
I used to have a sibing pair of koi pearl veiltail angels. Abt 30% of their offsprings have missing ventral fins.
This pair of angels were grown up from babies last year. Their parents were from the pair which laid eggs on the bleach container as shown in the earlier pics. So they are actually brother and sister. Now they paired up and have spawned 5 times since Nov 08 last year. Sorry no baby pics as nothing really special to take pictures of....hahaha

Angel Fish Lover,

I only got a couple of them with no ventral fins. But even if not related angels spawn, there will be couple of them with deformities and missing fins. So there is natural.

Some more pics
hahaha....I learnt my lesson after that...when I wanted to sell the angels or give the baby angels to friends, I had a hard time catching out all the babies....took me nearly 30 mins and also some plants were dislodged when I tried to catch all of them...grrr
Now smarter...put the babies in 2 ft tanks...hahahaha..easier to catch...
powerful rate of spawning!! impressed...
anyway, what are the perimeters in keeping them and making them 'horny' all the time? might want to give them a try with one of my empty 4x2x2.
and i don't see you covering your filter inlet with sponge or something.... i mean your fries don't get suck in?
thanks
cheers!
when theres any doubt, theres no doubt...
Haha...I dont keep them in any horny water. I just let nature take its course. In assisting them to breed, I always feed them live foods or frozen foods. This is to condition them to breeding state and also to help the females to develop eggs faster. Compare that to just feeding dried foods, I find that the females will produce eggs faster.
Did a test before. Fed one pair on tubifex and bloodworms. Another pair on dried pellets only.
The one with live food and bloodworms bred every week as compared to the dried food ones, the pair only laid eggs 3 weeks later. Every week means once the pair laid the eggs, I will take out the eggs and hatch them artificically. Then the pair will start lay eggs again exactly 1 week later.
I let them breed in the community tank but I will take out the eggs and hatch them artificially.
what kind of fishes do you have in your community tank? heard those small fishes like neon are not compatible....
cheers!
when theres any doubt, theres no doubt...
I have rummy noses and 1 sole congo tetra.
