my angle fish just layed eggs!!?

Question

my angle fish laid eggs by mestake and there with a lot of other fish there pretecting there eggs and attacking the other fish but what can i know about them like how long do i wait so they can hatch how can i help?!?!?!?

Answer 1

as bettachris said there is a little chance of survival if they don't get attacked by fungus before they hatch the other fish will eat them, there parents themselves will eat them also.

Answer 2

After the eggs hatch you can put the babies in a breeding net (they clip on to the side of the tank) or another tank. If you prefer the natural way (although less chance of survival) but in more plants so they can hide.

If you have a really strong filter you might want to change it to a weaker one or a sponge filter. They are really good because they can't suck up the babies.

Answer 3

If you want the eggs to survive you will need to setup another tank. Keep the angelfish and the eggs in the tank they are in now, and put all the other fish in a separate tank. Then, do lots of research online to figure out how to care for the offspring.

Answer 4

Put a lot of plants or marbles in the tank so the fry have places to hide if they hatch. Try to catch and move the other fish to another tank.

Answer 5

good thing is angel fish mate for life so keepp them together and keep trying they very often eat their eggs as a new couple then they mature to care for their young. you can remove the adults after they lay their eggs. or emove the eggs if they are on something removable

Answer 6

if your tank isnt set up for breeding then the fry will most likely be eatten by the tankmates regardless of the parents.

They will hatch abou 3-4 days after they have been laid.

Answer 7

place a divider in it and place the other fish away from the egg.s . till thy hatch and are bigger. in my opion?
