I have a breeding pair of Angels and they have laid eggs several times. The eggs didn't die but they vanished over night. The breeding pair are the only fish i have in the tank.

prehaps the eggs are infertile. There would be no point in watching eggs that wont hatch. Prehaps changing the breeding partners will provide better results.
for more help, please see my forum, http://fishroom.rapidboards.com

This is common behavior for young angels. Be patient, keep the water conditions in very good shape,if the tank is in a high traffic area try to arrange for a little quiet, feed the parents with some live food(or frozen),and sooner or later they will hatch a clutch.
Don't be surprised if they eat the fry for the first couple of tries,given time they will get it right.

Fish are like everything else, they are not born knowing how to be perfect parents. It could take them a lot of tries before they get it right. Provide a lot of plant cover (floating pants and tall plants that reach the water's surface) and they will feel more secure, and maybe, not eat the eggs. Good luck with the Angel babies!

Well sometimes fish mistake theyre own eggs for some food, but but the eggs might just be unfirtile.
