Very nice! Thanks for sharing those videos. I bred angels a long time ago, and this really brings back memories. Like a lot of people, I could never get reliable parents and ended up hatching the eggs in a separate container almost exclusively. I think your pair's experience in a community tank most likely instilled the parenting instinct in them. A theory at least.
And you display is awesome as well.

that's awesome how protective the parents are and didn't eat the fry. great vids! Great quality too!

I was lucky. So far all 3 pairs are good parents. I they learned their lesson laying eggs in my big tank. Because of that they take extra care of their young.
