angels laid eggs!

its a male and female cause i have got to having 1 or 2 of the babies swimming before being eaten. i did watch them lay it once. male looked completely different than the female. i might be able to save some this time scooping them off th filter and putting them in an extra cycled tank i have going :)
 
this is the 30 with just angels?

how much traffic in the area..?

they tend to eat the eggs if they feel there is a threat.

as you have read in some cases it is best to remove the eggs if you want to raise the fry.
many of my angels will lay eggs and let them hatch..I usually have free swimmers living for 3-4 weeks..
in the case where I want to raise the fry i remove them using a turkey baster a few days after freeswimming.
 
its a 30 gallon with some neons and lemons but they keep to the other side of the tank. the angels dont really notice them. no real reason for them to eat the eggs. ill just scoop some out and put them in my extra cycled tank i always have running:)
 
Angels will look like they are eating their young they are merely protecting them and will spit them back out where they were hatched. I f you spook them while they are doing this they will eat them.

I would use a BS net and scope them out.

but sounds like you need to get BBS started soon

good luck
 
i got the brine shrimp started. once i figure out how to put on pics ina post ill post some :)
 
Hello,

congrats!!! I have 12 pairs of angels myself, so I understand. I have had one pair spawn 5 times, and every time they do good ( the female and male protects them and they both fan the eggs for the first day, and then the male will start to eat all the white eggs, and then he gets carried away, but I really do not have the space for the baby angels anyway. Here is the pair that does it. They are dark marble. The females is 4-5" , and the male is 6-7" ( he is huge). ( I can't find the pic of the female, and my camera is broke). ( the pic of the male is about 5 months ago.)Thanks,

courtney
