[AquaticLife] Angelfish laying eggs
what would be the best filter to use or would a normal powerfilter be okay? I would hate to suck up any newborn fry. I also don’t have the proper food to feed them either, and I doubt my fish store can supply me with any, so I may as well forget about that though at least for now 
but thanks for the help
