Can anyone help me i want to breed angel fish
Aron said:The hardest part is getting a pair. How far are you into this, like do you have a pair? Young angels fresh from the shop?
fishboy77 said:Yes i have two young angels but not sure if there male or female?
Aron said:It's hard to tell whether they are male or female or not and they dont usually breed until they are about 10 month plus old. The best way to start would be to buy an already established pair!
Can anyone help me i want to breed angel fish
Andy Sager said:I have a breeding method that has produced many baby Angelfish but it requires multiple tanks with one being a very large grow out tank (70Gal or more.) If you are able to use this method, feel free to PM me for instructions.
From the sounds of it tho, your fish are too young to be breeding right now. What you can do if you are not sure if they are a pair is to put spawning sites such as flat pieces of rock against the glass or spawning cones or Angelfish spawning plates ( I believe they are called) in the tank and let them spawn naturally for the first time. However, I believe they won't be doing this for a few months from now.
Hope this helps...

fishboy77 said:When your angelfish has had there eggs and they grow in to small fry how do u move them from one tank to another
Do they look healthy
Andy Sager said:Yes, but not nearly large enough or old enough to even be thinking about when these fish will breed. They are many months away from that point. Keep them healthy for about 4-6 months then we can talk
To answer you question about moving the fry, if you don't artificially hatch out the eggs, then I use a siphon hose to move small fry from tank to tank.
Sorry but what is a siphon hose do u have a pic?
