GRRRR! Everyone's angels are spawning but mine =*(

[MyCatsDrool]

I give them a lovely breeding ground with a slate, fine, hand prepared fresh and frozen foods, lots o' love....


What am i doing wrongggggg?????

 

[blazeyreef]

add some plants, preferably amazon sword! my angels only ever spawned on the leaf of an amazon sword plant. just a thought though!

 

[MyCatsDrool]

They are in a heavy planted tank =*(

maybe you need to set the mood. play some music, turn on some moonlights, etc

Don't despair MCD. I actually started with 4 Angels and several times I assumed I had a pair. Lo, this was not so, all of them turned out to be females.

Give it just a little more time. Unless you have two males, a female is going to spawn (lay eggs) and if they are not fertilized, she will eat them.

I got 4 angels in there =( i hope they aren't all one gender

 

[blazeyreef]

also, do you feed live food?

my angels spawned without any effort on my part, I just had them in a 29gall community thought they were both females until one laid eggs and one fertilized.....diddnt ever do anything lol but live food will help, also things like frozen mysis may help as well!

ahhh the mysteries of the Angel fish. You don't know, they won't tell (until they can or want to).

I'm with you MyCatsDrool. I've been waiting and watching for months now. Nuthin...

try a major water change. It seems like everybodies spawns after one of those. Im with Jchillin they might just be all one gender. How long have you had them?

 

[MyCatsDrool]

They get a 50% H2O change weekly.


I bought them at about double silver dollar size, and have had them about 1 yr. Their bodies are about teacup sized now without fins.

Has there been any pairing off at all? I'm guessing they are in a community tank?
