angel al Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 If it's a bare bottom tank don't change anything, your work is done until they start to free swim except for adding anti fungal every second day. Kick back, watch & enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelThunder Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 sorry to barge in, my angelfish actually laid some eggs also. I got the pair from harold(fairdeals). I just have a question though, when you said methyl blue is that the anti ick formula?or where can I buy those? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel al Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Methylene Blue is a good choice as an anti fungal. I buy mine off of Ken's Fish online. I couldn't find it at any of the LFS so I buy it online. If you're stuck you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide. Use 1 ml per gallon & re dose every 12 hrs. till they hatch. Don't ever use it if you have shrimp in the tank as it's fatal to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelThunder Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 **update** the female keep laying eggs and the male keep on eating them. is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel al Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yes it's normal, sometimes they stop but if you have a male that continues after 4 or 5 spawns get a different male. They should spawn every 8 to 10 days on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostface Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Np Rebel, I bought my Methylene Blue from Piceis. Good luck with your next spawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
