Aquarium Advice Regular
I set up a tank in September and added 3 angels in October...just nickel sized ones. They have grown like bad weeds and it turns out (I believe) that the two I have left are a pair - they laid eggs yesterday.
They are guarding them as I type - the eggs appear clear still, a good thing!
I definitely have to let them hatch in the tank as they spawned on the glass, I'll get them a breeding slate this week. The only tank mates are 2 clown loaches and 2 ottos. Would it be possible to leave the free swimming fry in the tank or should I try to pull them out when they become free swimming? So far the parents are chasing away any fish that looks at them sideways.
The filter is an aquaclear 30 and I thought I'd just put a sponge over the intake. Would feeding the fry be an issue in a 30 gallon tank? I have lots of bbs as I raise seahorses too. I know with the seahorses you need to get good feeding density but then again the seahorses are probably lazier than the angel fry.
Thanks
