So They Laid Eggs, Now What...

Post by ddavila06 »

hey, my moms angelfish laid eggs on top of an anubias plant, it is a 40 breeder and the parents are so far taking care of them, would you risk it and take them out or would you let them give it a try? :?:

Leave them in there if this is their first spawn.

Once you go Dutch you can't stop trimming.

I agree. Leave them in there. The parent fish need to learn how to take good care of fry. It makes them better caretakers next time.

Congrats! How many are there?

Somewhere I remember reading that 2 female angel fish will pal around and lay eggs (infertile). Don't go by my experience though. I had angels years ago. One pair laid eggs but I never had fry.

Post your questions about angels on the Capital Cichlids Association forum. They have 5 or 6 members that successfully breed and raise many varieties of angel fish. That way you will be prepared for the next 'event'.

The next CCA meeting is on Oct 11. Ted Judy will talk about "Raising Fry from Egg to Adolescence".
