    Egg Tumblers

    if you have bigger fish in your main tank youll ned to grow the fry on for 3-5 months maybe longer before you move them otherwise they will get eaten. really youll need a seperate tank for the fry like a 40 or a 55 gallon or even a 20 gallon to get you going

    Egg Tumblers

    yeah same concept. but by useing a egg tumbler youll get more eggs from the same female sooner. thats why most breeders use them and myself. if you want to keep all the fry your females produce youll need alot of tank space .

    Angelfish

    doesnt matter if you want to breed them if they want to they will . but they only really are aggressive when they are alot bigger then the other fish . if the angels are big they will try and eat tetras and fish of that size

    What to do with eggs?

    do you have a spare tank ? if you do when she is holding the eggs put her in the spare tank until she spits the fry out usually at about 21 days. then put the female back into main aquarium.
