Angelfish Breeding - Attempt #4

Well its attempt #4 for my Angelfish pair. They really do breed like clockwork. I feed them normally for 2 weeks, at the end of the two weeks I switch to a frozen food diet and then do a cold water change about a half a week or week later and the eggs are laid within an hour.

The first two attempts were on a slanted piece of slate and the most recent two on an Amazon Sword plant.

The last batch lasted almost 3 days before they decided to chow down. The parents were actually doing a pretty good job of removing the white/fungus eggs and you could see them fanning the eggs quite often. I'm going to leave them almost completely alone this time around to see if I have spooked them at all and will be trying the night light idea to see if that makes any difference. Anyways just attaching a couple pics.

Most commercially sold angelfish are not good parents.. You're better off to remove the eggs and artificially hatch them in another tank with some antifungal and 80 degree temps.
