[AquaticLife] Angelfish laying eggs
They are the only 2 angel’s in the tank. I didn’t think I would actually get lucky and have them pair off, but I swear everything in my tank is pairing off and doing their breeding dances, LOL. I have one VERY fat flame tetra, and a couple of fat platty’s/guppies but those were planned I figured if I keep guppies on hand, then my bigger fish can eat the fry (I figure this happens in the wild so the fish should do just fine, and I’ve already noticed my angels and severum watch certain parts of the tank for any fry, LOL). I only put one pregnant female into the 10 gallon to see if I would have any luck raising some of the fry. So far I’ve kept 4 of them alive all week, LOL. They’re getting a little bigger though. Thanks Len, I will file this email away for later use if I need to do a quick look up of Angel fish info
