Thanks for the reply andy I actually just sent you a DM but have now moved the angels back to the show tank. The quick start didn't work as it claimed and the ammonia level remained at 0.6 mg/L even after treatment. I didn't want to risk it so I am going to put those 3 zebra danios back in to...
Can't quite say where I heard this but sometimes the female will eat the babies if they are not experienced parents and the male will punish her by chasing and nipping for a short time. They should be okay but if it persists, I would separate them and try again in a week. Again, not quite sure...
Okay guys, sorry for not updating you all! I have been getting lots of help from Andy and now my angelfish breeding tank is set up and running. I'm looking for some advice on cycling the tank because it will be stocked with only two angelfish and i don't have any fish to get the nitrogen cycle...
Hey Andy not sure if my DM went through but anyway, I got everything to set up the 26 gallon tank and I'm just looking for a good location. I was also wondering how the bow front shape will impact the results. Will I need to find a spot where nobody ever walks by or is my bedside secure enough...
Again, my intentions are not to make a profit. I do not want to mass produce these Angels and the only reason I want to breed them is to be able to watch the nature of a fishes life and maybe get to raise a few to full size. I don't plan to sell the fry or keep many of them, in fact, I don't...
Wow Andy, thanks for all the information! The angelfish actually spawned in their previous tank according to my LFS so I hope they will again :) I have a 26 gallon bowfeont tank that I wanna put to use, but I'm not quite confident in establishing another stable aquarium with the bad quality of...
I don't feed them very much, just a pinch and I do my water changes after feeding to siphon out any flakes they missed. I'll try to get to a test kit today and then I'll update you with parameters.
I agree with you. I need to see parameters. I suppose I'll have to wait until tomorrow and hope the fish are okay. 2/4 now seem to be active but hopefully they are all well in the morning. Thanks and I'll get my parameters checked tomorrow. This is a ten gallon tank and Unfortunately I cannot...
Hey guys, I set up a guppy tank a few days ago and after keeping freshwater fish for a while, I decided i'd try cycling with a few guppies. So I went out and got myself 5 guppies and the tank was already set up for a day with plants and their filter+heater and light. The first night, I noticed...
What is the temperature of your aquarium? I recently learned that my tap water has little oxygen dissolved in it and the heat was making it worse. My pleco died because it could not breathe. Did the fish seem to all swim near the surface? If they look like they are gasping for air, I'd recommend...
Hi, I have been keeping fish for five years so far but I'm new to these forums. I have kept and bred many species of fish (mostly basic ones) and now I want to try angels. I bought a mature, wild caught breeding pair a while back and they have been in a community 55 gallon tank with 15 cardinal...
