Angelfish laying eggs
Okay so my 2 angel fish apparently decided they really like each other recently. They were fighting a bit more lately, and I figured something was going on but didn’t think they would start laying eggs and fertilizing them. One (grey/black striped not sure what kind it is precisely) is laying the eggs while my Koi angelfish comes in and is apparently fertilizing them (I can see a slight cloud coming out as he hovers over the leaf that the female laid eggs on), and the two of them are definitely guarding the leaf. My question is this, how likely is it for these babies to actually survive in a semi-aggressive aquarium with a few “passive” fish as well? I could get a tank divider if it might help somehow, wonder how much it will cost at my LFS, afterall it’s a 125 gallon tank, LOL. On a side note it’s nice to see that they are both very happy in their environment. All of the fish have increased in size and color since I moved them into the bigger tank. I currently have a 10 gallon set up with 4 fry and an expecting female (well I think she has laid the 4 fry in there and there are more to come, but I could be wrong, LOL), could I just cut the leaf with eggs on it off of the plant and put it into the 10 gallon or would that be a bad idea?
