My Double Black Angels just layed about 500 eggs. I want to leave the eggs with the parents untill they become free swimming. Do I need to put Methylene Blue in with the eggs and the parents. I have live plants in there, will the Methylene Blue hurt the plants? I have other angels in the same tank but have put a divider in there.
Thank you for your help

I have never used Meth-blue on any of my fishes eggs. I always let nature takes it course. I use to breed angels a lot, well was not difficult with many angels and many tanks, but all I ever did was put an airstone near the eggs. It just kept circulation so that nothing would settle on the eggs.

Thanks for your help it is appreciated. My angels layed their eggs on a piece of Drift wood and I was able to take your suggestion amd put a air stone under one section of the wood this makes it go up both sides of the eggs.

The eggs were on a piece of driftwood. I left them with their parents. The first night I had just a few white eggs. I put a bubbler just under the eggs and it went up both sides. The second night many eggs were white eventually they all turned white. Wither the male doesn't know what to do or I have two females again.
