Surprise angelfish eggs!

[itskatieebaby23]

I've never had angel eggs before. Most important question.. Do the parents usually eat their own eggs or do they protect them? I'm worried cause they've eaten cory catfish eggs before. They have been the only two fish in the 20g tank for about a month or so. I think they liked being alone so much that they finally decided to mate. I'm super happy& want this to go well any suggestions?

Can't get A clear picture of the eggs. The Top picture is the female. The bottom is both of them when they were smaller(only good pic I have of both)

Angelfish guard their eggs. You might want to consider getting a larger tank eventually, angelfish get too tall for a 20g.

Good to hear. I hope the eggs hatch.

Do I need a sponge filter?

It might help to be safe.

Sponge pre filter is great if you have a HOB.

You should get some foods for the babies. Order some brine shrimp eggs and a hatching kit or watch a video about making your own hatching container.
