angelfish breeding question

[tarpon]

Idk. I think the new angel mightve eaten them.
Oh well at.least i know theyll lay again.
I think the female still has eggs in her bc she didnt lay that many and her belly was still pretty fat. Is that possible?

 

[Ducatiman]

Not sure on that one. More likely she will lay in a few more days.

 

[tarpon]

I have to watch and.be sure whos eating them

 

[Ducatiman]

Bit of advice. Make a note when they laid. Mine are regular as clockwork. If my theory is correct I should get eggs tomorrow night. It's UK here so another 24 hours from now.

Angel parents very often eat the first batch or 2 of eggs. If it wasn't them, plecos of any species LOVE caviar. They eat them at night when the normally diligent angel parents are resting. But they should lay again. I would definitely recommend removing the eggs if you want any to survive since you have plecos.

Yeah it mightve been my pleco since it happened overnight. I almost wanna get rid of that thing

 

[Ducatiman]

Yip. If u can remove him or the eggs ul need to leave light on but it still might not deter him!

 

[tarpon]

Do you mean if i cant remove them?
And i might put him in a temporary rubbermaid qt next time to see if the eggs get eaten overnight or not then. Since i have 2 filters running

 

[Ducatiman]

Yes if u cant remove him, sorry, my typings rubbish.

That sounds like a good idea.
