I just noticed eggs on the uptake tube of my filter. Two of my Angels are hovering quite closely. This is a first in my tank. The Angels ( 4 of them) were my Mother's Day present to myself this past year. I don't have another tank I can move them too, so I guess it will be let nature decide if any survive. If they survive, how long before they hatch?

I don't think you're going to have to worry about them surviving, tha parents, especially young and inexperienced parents mostly eat the spawn they laid. If by chance yours do survive, you should notice wigglers in a few days. Becareful with your other angels as this breeding Pair will be highly aggressive at this time.
the angels will most likley spawn again. it may take them a couple of tries before they get their parenting instincts down.
if you do not have another tank to put the breeding pair in, then you may want to get a divider for the tank so the other angels are not beaten up by the breeding pair.

:iagree:
I just wish the fry are raised with their parents so the fry can develop their parental instincts when they mature.
I am having the same thing happen, except I got to watch my angels laying and fertilizing, when should I remove the eggs from the main tank and put in the fry tank? Should I move the breeding pair with them?
Before they lay another batch of eggs, you might want to put a sponge pre-filter on the intake tube of your filter. Since they like to use it, this would prevent the fry from getting sucked into the filter itself.
