all fish eat there eggs. if you want them to hatch, leave the eggs where they are, but take the parents out and put them in a seperate tank. if you try to take the eggs out, the babies inside will die

My sister had a pair of angel fishes. The first time the mother guarded her eggs fiercely but they got eaten by the father and other fishes. Then afterward she ate her eggs too. My sister said they became caviar to the parents. Apparently my sister did not feel like breeding angel fish.

Its not just angel fish..its all fish, they all eat their eggs, even if they are not hungry, you best bet is what i did, speparate the mother into another tank, not to big, and wait for it to give birth (i guess thats the proper term) imediatly take out the mother and wait for the eggs to hatch...feed the babies smaller food or crush the big food up and once they grow big enough to survive in the big tank move them over. i got about 50 or 60 fish that way =) other tank requires heater nd bubbles

Angels are pretty easy to breed they just need to be healthy have clean water and a good diet. All of my tanks contain a sponge filter, heater, pvc pipe for spawning tanks and no gravel. Breeder tanks are 20 gallon high tanks. Angels will usually breed with a ph of about 7 and they like a temperature around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Their diet consists of beefheart mixture, white worms, frozen brine shrimp and flake food. You need to have plants and some thing for them to lay the eggs on .there are a lot of good fish suites to look up ..

Happens with stress. Next time, leave the lights off until the fry are too large to be eaten, or you remove the parents. You can also remove the parents as soon as the eggs are laid and place an air stone next to the eggs to keep water circulating around them.

i do no longer somewhat think of they could desire to be fanned. And in the event that they shop eating them, this is nicely well worth the prospect of shifting the eggs to a various tank. I particularly have a 10g that i take advantage of for my fry, yet a 5g could paintings too. To get the eggs off use a razor blade and gently scrape them and flow them to the different tank, in the event that they're on the glass. in case you have stay plant life and the eggs are on between the leaves, identity pluck the leaf off and flow it. yet while your plant life are plastic/silk and the eggs are on that i could basically flow the full plant to the smaller tank.
