Angels laid eggs today.

:headbang2: I have had an Angel in the past that laid eggs but because she was by herself, of course they were not fertile. I bought several angels around this time last year. I lost 2 and still have 2 remaining (a gold and a gold marble). I am pretty sure that they are both male and female given that the breeding tubes look different. Hopefully I will end up with a male and female. So far they are protecting the eggs. Looks like the one that I believe is Male is guarding the eggs, but the female isn't far behind. They are in a community tank so I don't plan on any making it. But it is exciting.

How soon till you can tell if the eggs are developing?

I'd give it 3-4 days.:)

they'll lay eggs like clockwork, and defend them like no tomorrow.

for their sake and the sake of the other fish in the tank, it would probably be a good idea to get them their own tank.

Well.....sometime overnight all of the eggs got ate. Don't know if it was the parents or hungry tankmates.

I don't have a spare tank to move them to so I will have to take my chances. If there was a way to divide the tank that would work best. It is a 125 gal. I know they sell dividers but they don't go that large.
