since my angelfish babies have hatched the male angel fish wont let me go near the tank he attacks me and if i try to turn the lights out they are sucking them up in there mouths but when i turn the lights back on they spit them back onto the leaf can someone help me work out what i can do as this is there 5th spawn in 2 months there wigglers and i dont want to loose them :( :crazyeyes:
 
This is actually great parenting. When the free swimming angel fish fry near to far from the spawn sight , they suck them up and spit them out on the spawn sight. Nothing to worry about. And them being aggressive is normal.
