Angelfish spawned - Aquarium Advice

jrp1588 · 03-11-2008, 02:33 PM

Well I don't know how many people around here still remember me. According to my user info I haven't logged on since '06 haha. Anyway, good to be back, and I return bearing good news! I seem to have gotten ahold of a breeding pair of angelfish. They lay a new batch of about 200 eggs weekly. The fry are almost three weeks old, and I have 50 that are still alive. Anyway, here's some pictures

those angels look EXACTLY like the breeding pair I had to give up (to the lfs)

the male was the koi color and the female the marble...
congrats on the spawn, and beautiful tank!

Thanks! that's kind of an old picture, it was actually right after a pretty heavy pruning. Here it is now, it could actually use some pruning. haha

looks awesome! great job!

yeah, now I just have to worry about finding homes for all the little buggers. Hopefully my LFS will take most of them, I haven't asked yet though

Hey! Mazel Tov!

There is no reason your LFS shouldn't take em off your hands for you. THats really great, your tank params must be tip top. Something to be proud of.

Congratulations. Everything looks fantastic. If you can't get rid of them at your lfs, check with your local aquarium society or club. I bet you can find someone to take them.

I don't know of any clubs around here. not a real popular hobby down here it seems. haha
