move the plant to a small rearing tank

Matt201985 · 01-26-2006, 03:57 PM

if i move the plant to my 10gal with a baby honey gourami and 2 cories, will that be ok?

Jonno · 01-26-2006, 04:47 PM

well my cories when i had them in with my pair ate them but i would leave the eggs in with the angels to see if they do hatch because angels can be very gd parents.

well, i called the breeder i got the angels from, and he said to move the plant to any empty tank. so im going to devide my 10 for my betta and use the 5gal for the plant with the eggs on it. he has special water treatment stuff to hatch the eggs, hes going to give me some tomm. so we will see what happens.

kwl well keep us updated when i raised my angel eggs i got an empty tank put the slate that they layed on in there with an airstone under it to keep the water moveing over it and put some methelene blue in there to stop fungus and bacteria.

But keep us updated

will deff keep u updated, how long did it take the eggs to hatch one they are laid??

Jonno · 01-27-2006, 06:21 AM

On the second day around lunch time i got some wigglers

Well when i had my first lot i found a really good website with pictures of wigglers and free swimming fry:

But usually your angelfish will lay eggs every 10 days.

well, i just woke up and there are hardly any eggs left, alot of them turned white last night and when i looked this morning theres only about 8 eggs, angels are no longer protecting them, my guess is i have 2 females.

Congrats! Hope that all goes well for you

You may not have two females. It sometimes takes Angels a couple spawnings to get it right. give the a chance. Also, if they spawn anywhere near the uptake tube of your tank or where currents are higher, the eggs don't stand a good chance of becoming fertilized.

My Angels spawn every 10 days to 2 weeks. It took one pair 4 spawnings to get it right. This last spawn I got a few hundred wigglers from them yesterday.

So keep their water clean and good, and give them time. They will get it!

Good luck!
