Well, I sure wasn't expecting this...

[Devilishturtles]

Angelfish eggs. Not even a clue that I had a pair, and I come in to look at the tanks and find this! Now I have no idea what to do with them!

Dad (I'm guessing) hates when the camera got close, and charged the glass. Was hard to get good shots of him not in them!

A few more pictures...

The silver dollars live by that intake and they very rarely stray from it. The angels are having fun picking the SD's to death!

Whoohoo!! Thanks awesome Lindsey.

Great looking pair of Angels.

 

[Jchillin]

They appear to have done a fabulous job with the spawn. Hopefully yours will be fruitful with there efforts.

 

[Zagz]

Congratulations. That's great news. Good luck with the eggs.

 

[Devilishturtles]

Thanks guys. Like I thought, they were gone this morning when I woke up

I'm fairly sure, based on the look of the papilla, that I have a male/female pair. So, I should expect this again in 2-4 weeks, right?

Thanks again!

 

[rich311k]

Mine are going about every two weeks right now. They just laid again last night.

 

[Jchillin]

True, mine have always been on a bi-monthly basis as well.

based on the look of the papilla

Us non-biologists call these "breeding tubes".

IMO, more than 90% of angel pairs will eat their eggs. Several reasons. Most angels are tank raised and have no parenting skills, and most spawn in community tanks which can be very threatening to parenting.

The only way to assure raising a spawn is to remove the eggs.

 

[Devilishturtles]

Great, thanks for the tips guys! I just killed my 10 gallon sw tank. I might have to scrape it out, get a sponge filter and leave it barebottom, and see if I can raise some angelfish fry.

Bill, my sincere apologies.

 

[QTOFFER]

Beautiful angels! The in-your-face one (the male?) is a handsome fella!
Hopefully, they'll keep spawning and you will get some fry to raise!

 

[Jaybird]

I wish I had luck like that! I bought 4 keyholes, hoping to get a pairing, and two months later.....nuttin!

Congratulations! That will be amazing once they hatch.

 

[Jchillin]

Yeah, if you need any evidence of angels not getting it right, just check with mine.

 

[Devilishturtles]

lol.

QTOFFER, that is my guess to the male. He was really standing his fins up last night. Was beautiful.

Jay, Thanks.

Bill, we need to send them to angelfish spawning school.

Tonight the two aren't even hanging together. Last night they were unseperable. Ah well...such is life.

Here's hoping they do it again. Then you'd have to get another tank for the eggs/fry... darn.

Already got you covered, severum_mama! I have an empty 10 gallon now that is being setup....cause you just never know, right?
