Angelfish breeding

[fishfan88]

I have a 45 gallon tank (well its my 5 year old brothers actually) with two angels, three harlequin rasboras and five Cory cats. I was thinking, if I got a few more angels and let them grow up and then hopefully pair up, and then kept a pair and got rid of the rest of the angels and rasboras but kept the Cory's, would that be ok? I have another tank I can put some of the fish in.

how big is your tank? i think you should be fine as long as you have enough space for them.

It's a 45 gallon. How many Angels in that size tank would you think I should do?

you can easily have at 5-6 of them depending on the maturity of the angelfishes. finding and pairing are always the hardest parts to do for breeding

How can you tell that they have paired up for sure?

they will hang together and start cleaning a place to lay eggs and chase the other fish away. When its time

they will first start to hang out together more. then they will search for a spawning site and guard it with increased aggressiveness.
