I was feeding today and I noticed these eggs on my intake to my filter. I thought they were snail eggs until I noticed excessive chasing and the parents trending to the eggs.

Do you have any other fish? You may want to get a breeding tank or net or something. Mine spawned too and overnight they can get eaten when the parents go to sleep.

I have 2 other angels and a bristlenose pleco. The eggs survived the night, but a few of them appear to be infertile. I didn't have any intentions of breeding them, but seeing as how I've got a pair I might just have a go at raising the young.

One of my other angels has a very swollen belly and is almost floating on the surface. I usually feed every other day, but I've fed every day so far this week. The new parents are very nippy and harassing the other two fish.

Tried to get a shot of the belly I know the two angels ate the better part of an algae wafer yesterday because they couldn't get the worms as a result of the parents

Pretty sure it was constipation. Fed peas today and now everyone is more lively and two tone isn't practically floating anymore.

My pair has been acting territorial toward the other two and are (what I'm guessing) cleaning a spot on my return in almost the same spot.
