Hi!
I've had angel fish for 25 years but this is actually the first time they have laid eggs. These angels have been in my tank for about 2 weeks (after I accidentally killed my old ones by putting them in a cleaned but not sufficiently rinsed tank) and yesterday I saw the eggs. There are five angels in the tank, three of them were being chased into a corner so now I have divided the tank. The parents are calmer and the three angels are able to move around a bit.
If the eggs result in actual fry the three obviously will have to move, not sure yet if I will take them back to the store or move them to my other tank - there's a lot of platies in it and I think the angels will help themselves to a lot of young platies (not necessarily a bad thing, there are a lot of them).
I have a panaque bruno with the parents and eggs - is it a threat to young angels?
Any other good ideas about what to do next? I've read as much as I have found and I feel like I'm in over my head now...
Regards
Jennifer
