Angelfish Egg Raising Questions

[jackcaspian]

So my angelfish laid some eggs in my tank but they were eaten so I want to be prepared for next time. What precautions should I take with their care and how should they be housed.

Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The short answer is to have the pair in a tank by themselves. It's really much more involved than that tho. Here is a link to a thread by both pro and hobbyist Angelfish breeders. Pretty much everything you need to know was discussed on this thread. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f82/wigglers-at-last-237956.html

Thanks! That helped a lot, but where and how should I house and cares for the eggs?

Put a slate in the tank, one that you can remove easily. Take that big chunk of driftwood out, they will spawn on it and you can't remove the eggs. When they spawn on the slate, take it out and put it in a 1 gallon jar. Put the jar in a ten gallon tank with a heater. Put an air line into the jar for circulation and use a good antifungal. Google will get you lots of info on raising Angels.
