I have angel fish eggs. I moved them to a little bowl with an air stone and methylene blue. What else do I need to do? How long till they hatch? Help!!!
Help angelfish eggs!!!
- Thread starter born2lovefish
- Start date
they should hatch in 2 day and become wigglers.
Day 0: Eggs spawned in streaks, are clear or translucent.
Day 1: Some infertile eggs turn white.
Day 2: More eggs turn white, wiggling tails emerge from clear eggs. Some white eggs may get fuzzy.
Day 3: Tadpole shape forms with large yolk sack, fry remain stuck to the slate.
Day 4: Small eyes form.
Day 5: Eyes grow large, yolk sack shrinks. Start brine shrimp hatchery.
Day 6: Some fry are free swimming.
Day 7: All free swimming, time to start feeding.

Do you have to stuff to hatch baby brine shrimp or do you know how to do it? What did they spawn on?
a filter tube I had lying around. I have brine shrimp eggs I can hatch, and I also have some food for baby brine shrimp. It might work too. Oh and I have fry bites. I should be set there. I just hope they hatch. The bad thing is that in two weeks I am going out of the country so, the fry will probably die.

yeah if your going to be gone they won't make it i feed mine about 5-8 times a day just a little at a time. did you see the male going over them?
I found the eggs after my classes today. The one has actually laid eggs with other one of my angels. There are only two in the tank now, so I think it is a pair. I am hoping it was not two females.
If you didn't get to see the male going over them the only way you will know is when they become wigglers then you will know you have a pair. Sometimes if you have two females in a take one of the females will act like a male but of course none of them will hatch if that’s the case.
mine laid eggs last night..in a community tank..I ws looking for a baster to pull them off..when I returned..the bn had eaten them..that durn fish has a taste for caviar..
soon the pair will be in a species tank by themselves.
with maybe oto's..I read they don't eat eggs..
congrats

I borrowed one my mom's big glass bowls and I put methylene blue in it with the eggs and an air stone. Oh and I put a light on top. I hope it works!
