View attachment 277847Here is the batch of my Angels latest spawn Andy. They just moved them to this leaf today. They're wiggling like crazy! One question though, why do they move the Wigglers? They've been wiggling for 1 1/2 days now so I'm guessing about another 2-3 days and they should be free swimming!

Actually, it's an individual thing. I've had pairs that will only spawn on slate, on red rock, on white PVC pipe while others just go for whatever is in the right position when they are ready.
I recently had this discussion with my friend about the fish's ability to see colors. We've concluded that if that can't actually see colors, they must be able to see shades. The reasoning: My/his formerZebra Lace female. She has successfully spawned with 4 different males. 2 Blacks, 1- Half Black and 1 Zebra Lace veil. Her first was a Black male. Her last, the other black male. What's interesting is that she beat up the other 2 males even tho she would spawn with them yet she hasn't touched the Black males. There were many months and many spawns in between the 2 black males so why hasn't she continued this harsh treatment of her males? We surmize that it's because of their color. Apparently, it's something she prefers.

Hey Andy, I wanted confirm that it's normal for a fish missing one of his eyes to swim on his side? He didn't do that until he had that fight with his mate.

On it's side, No, Favoring the side that still has site, Yes. I have the same with the ones I have with the damaged eyes. They tend to swim with the bad eye more protected but that only makes for a slight lean not a total side swimming.
It's really more of a diagonal.

Once the fish can get used to seeing only out of the one side, it may swim a bit more normally but for now, realize that if you put it in with other Angels, it's going to be at a disadvantage and possible victim of attacks.
I only use these type of fish in pairs so there are no 'surprise" attacks.![]()
Andy, the fry started free swimming this morning! So I should feed them about 12 hrs after they started if I'm not mistaken?

We went to a really nice fish store that was interested in some of our angel babies, we sold him 30 for $.50 each. He said %10 had split gills and it was probably caused by growing them in poor conditions.
We admitted that the 55 was grossly over stocked and that's why we were trying to get some sold. I can't seem to find much about this condition on dr. Google. Wondering if Dr. Andy can give me any more info?

Andy I'm so sorry for bugging you, again, but how much do I feed them? Do I use the whole batch of BBS or 1/2 per feeding? I also have Walter and micro worms for them also.
