I have 4 angels in a 70 gallon community tank that I have raised from dime sized babies. I noticed today that there is a collection of eggs on my filter tube that I assume might belong to a couple of them based upon the fact that they are hanging close and shooing away anyone else who gets close.
Here are the eggs... I assume the opaque ones are dead?
As this was unintentional, any fry would be an exciting bonus, but I worry about their safety (since I have an esoteric bunch in the tank, including hatchet fish, silver dollars, rainbows and a ropefish).
Is there a way for me to safely transfer the eggs, or should I wait until they are wigglers and try to catch at least some? I'd love to let the parents rear them, but fear that they would be a tasty snack for their tank mates.
