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 · 02-01-2007, 08:36 PM

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?
