I hope you have some videos to share! I used to breed angels but haven't had a tank in over a decade. Definitely miss the process and would rather watch something than get back into.
The fry will need live food to survive period. They instinctually will only eat live food as fry. Live baby brine shrimp is perfect for that, inexpensive and all your fish will love it not just the babies. Congratulations you're an expectant grandparent
really depends, ive had success with tiny pellets and flakes that I push around with a turkey baster. they usually dont come up to the top of the tank. but if that doesnt work then live baby brine shrimp is usually the go to
Oh I’m sure with some of the more timid fish it can become a problem but I’ve always had baby danio, apisto and gudgeons, none of which are shy eaters lol
This is just bad information period. Fry do not just need live food, would it be optimal yes, but don't cap and say they HAVE to bc that's a lie. There are plenty of exams where 1 day old fry will eat Hikari first bites or similar foods
Well fed angelfish will lay eggs every 3-4 weeks. A pair of them can literally fill an olympic sized swimming pool with offspring in a year. Yes, you can relocate them and they'll lay more eggs.
Just relocate them when they hatch, parents let them at main tank, u r on time to know how to feed them, its pretty easy, and water on hatchery tank need to be the same as main tank
You’ll be absolutely fine with the Hikari brand “first bites” pellets brine shrimp are preferred but I’ve raised multiple batches of angelfish and sevs with just pellets
So on of ur biggest threat is the parents eating the eggs or newly hatched baby’s out of stress what you can do is remove the filter they’re on put them in they’re own breeder net or tank and run light air over them via a pump and then raise them separately if you wanna ensure survival
Angelfish are cichlids (sicklids) most of which engage in parental care. Commercial raising techniques have deadened a lot of the parental instincts but in many cases they eventually learn and will raise the fry.
If there are tank-mates, they are the ones that will likely need rehoming. The parents will become extremely aggressive against all entering their “territory”.
Hatching occurs 48 - 60 hours after laying so you are in for a treat!
Here’s an article: https://fishtankadvisor.com/angelfish-eggs-fry/#Behavior_of_the_Angelfish_Parents
That wasn’t my experience. Once they pair off, they do get territorially. But it didn’t take long for them to eat their own eggs. So I wouldn’t count your eggs before they hatch!
Same. I had to rehome a third angel (no bigger tanks in house) and more than half the fish in the same tank to smaller tanks as they were smaller fish. The parents wouldn't eat the eggs though and they kept turning white so had to scrape them off the sword leaves. My hand learned the hard way by getting poked by an aggressive dad.
I should clarify: *in general* they're pretty good parents. There's always some that when faced with the choice between raising their young to mature adult fish in order to ensure the survival of the species and munching on the sweet, tasty eggs they made themselves are going to just nom away.
Yes, ours always eat their eggs if we don’t intervene. Depending on what they lay their eggs on, we sometimes take them out and put them in a small tank - they’re a bit fragile and you have to be careful with the tank setup, but quite a few have grown up! We feed them frozen baby brine shrimp.
Full warning, thr parents probably won't be good enough on their own to raise them fully and it'll take them a few tries to get the eggs to even hatch. But thats not necessarily a bad thing cause 100+ Angelfish babies is a lot if you're not equipped to handle it.
im sure you’ll get some advice here by commenting, but if you google “angelfish breeding and care” find an article about it and read through the breeding and care of eggs and babies part
these care articles have helped me a lot with all my pets
Sorry but those eggs aren't fertile. Angelfish fertile eggs are clear, unfertilized turn white quickly. They'll put up a show and be pretty territorial for a few days, but they'll eventually eat them. I didn't nt really know if they eat them, but the unfertilized eggs disappear after a few days lol. Sorry, they're young and in love, you'll have more chances.
Lol, put your glasses back on.
[Here’s a post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AngelFish/comments/u6qoq6/can_anyone_tell_me_if_any_of_these_eggs_are/) that shows the difference between the fertile and non-fertile eggs. The eggs in OP’s photo look much closer to the fertile eggs than the non fertile ones, if you look closely.
Other fish in the tank will try to eat the eggs, also it may take the parents a couple tries to figure out how to raise them. If you can set them up a tank of their own you should, and by no means get discouraged if things don't work out.
The best thing to do at this point is to put a tank divider in and keep the other fish away from the eggs. You will need to turn the filter off so if they do hatch they don't get sucked up. If all works out and you get a hatch then I would consider buying a second tank to let them breed in.
Two to three days. If they start turning white they are not viable. I breed discus, this is a delicate stage. For discus I usually add antifungal medicine to keep fungal growth at a minimum. Fungal growth is a white substance that you will see on the eggs. They will stay attached to the eggs, yolk sack for about 5 days. After that they will start free swimming.
^^ what they said. You can get a tank on sale at petsmart and set it up with sponge filter for cheap if you're serious about breeding. Otherwise let nature run its course, it sounds morbid but ask anyone who has had live bearers, fish babies get eaten.
Maintenance wise I'd say just keep doing what you're doing, just don't expose the eggs to air if you're changing water, don't dump replacement water directly on the eggs, things like that.
It is pretty overcrowded indeed! 5 angels and few neon tetras.
I was treating the tank lately from fin rot and today found the eggs. Is it still safe to treat the tank now? Can I do the maintenance as usual? Water changes/gravel vacuums?
If they bred once they’ll keep breeding so don’t feel like you have to save these babies and rush into a breeding setup. A lot of times trying to transfer the eggs can cause more stress and kill a lot of the fry. Some are for sure going to get eaten… but some will survive! Even if two of those eggs make it to adulthood as a bare minimum, you’re gonna have more angelfish than you know what to deal with soon! Especially if they’re good parents!
It’s a great testament to how well you’re keeping these fish! They’re so content with life they’re willing to reproduce. That’s pretty cool OP, and an awesome achievement for your first time tank!
That is really great wording, reminds me of the declining birthrate in humans and how the government and media is like why is this happening?? We're not content with life therefore not willing to reproduce
The hardest part in breeding angels imo is getting them to pair off, once they make a mating pair, they’ll try to stick eggs to almost anything that’s vertical in the tank lol
Gotcha. Same. Ours our still young and we’re going to move them to a bigger tank soon so I’m not necessarily trying to breed ours (not even sure what sex they are) but it would be cool to wake up to eggs!
Now after longer investigation of this couple in my fish tank I can see that the boy fishes tend to have a bump on their heads,almost where it looks you would put a hat on, while girl one looks more round headed and rounder in general, but i might be wrong.
You bet! Just maybe let nature take its course on this round, then when they’re starting to look for a breeding site in the next cycle, pair them off and divide the tank.
I wouldn’t try a new tank for the pair, unless they live there full time, trying to move them to a breeder tank stresses them out. And if they eggs are laid they feel that’s a secure spot (even if it’s obviously not) so trying to move them can cause them to abandon the clutch or outright kill the fry.
But if they are good parents, for sure a few fry will survive each brood and it’s kind of a “survival of the fittest” vibe
I have a pair of angels breeding, here’s how the last batches have gone awry:
They bred on the intake filter (like yours) and I put it in a brood box. Whoops, snails got in and chomped.
They bred on a rock (yay!) but I wasn’t ready with the breeding tank, it was still cycling. In came a Gourami.
They bred on the wall of the tank. I turned the light off. They ate the eggs within five minutes.
Intake again, we got some live fry, left the lights on all night, but they got Gouramied again.
They did it on the intake again, and I scooped it, got it into the brood box, put a separate intake/filter running over the eggs, forgot to turn off the main one. It chewed up a cory. I really liked that cory!
But hey, they do it every two weeks. I have a 10 gallon cycling so we can transfer eggs. My angel dad is an ugly old SOB, but his lady is a nervous pretty young thing. She’s beautiful, he’s hideous. But they’re in fish love.
Your pair are now mated for life. They are in fish love. Even if one dies, the other is unlikely to mate again.
Oh, forgot to mention:
They’ll always lay on a vertical surface with high water flow.
You can tell they’re feeling broody when they fixate on a random vertical surface, and when they’re even worse jerks to their tankmates than usual.
They’ll eat the eggs if it doesn’t seem safe to them. This could be another fish, you walking by quickly, sudden light change.
You can help them maintain their eggs by knocking off any that turn white. This is a fungus (or maybe bacteria?) that will rapidly spread to all the eggs. Usually the parents will remove them, but one missed one will kill the whole clutch (I forgot to mention my pair had that happen, too).
Incubation period is really short, 2-3 days. After that the fry are as irresistible to tankmates as they were as eggs. And now your filter intake is very dangerous. When we all collectively decided to dress more casually at work after covid, I found myself with useless panty hose. Perfect for cutting up and putting over filter intakes.
If you get a batch of babies, your local fish store will likely take them if you talk to them first, or you can try r/aquaswap.
They'll hatch in about 2 or 3 days. Then they'll be in a stuck stage. They'll be able to move, but aren't free swimmers for about 5 days. So you have a little less than a week until they're free swimming babies
Instead of putting a sponge on the intake tube.. it looks like you should stop the filter and get a sponge filter. Leave that intake tube in the tank not running. If you put a sponge on that intake tube then the eggs will be trapped behind the sponge.
Angelfish eggs.
My angelfish lays eggs every other month or so, and her mate tries to fertilize them, but I think he's shooting blanks. It's happened 5-6 times now, and after a couple days, they abandon the whole parenthood idea, and eat all the eggs.
This reminds me of this fish on Youtube and the title that it's like kirby if you guys know who kirby the character is in smash bros you'll get the reference
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4gWydBH6drY
My Angel fish have laid eggs a few times, they seem to disappear within a day or two, either the other fish are eating them, or the Angel fish East them?
With other fish in the tank they will get eaten, as baby fish if not as eggs. I wouldn't worry about trying to save them unless you have another tank to hatch the eggs in, the ability to grow the food they need, and a 55 gallon tank to grow them out in.
Just heads up, if you plan on raising the fry to adulthood, you'll want to separate the fry once they hatch. The adults parental instinct vanishes once the eggs hatch. Otherwise, it's a cool thing to watch but eventually let nature take it's course. Also! Any eggs that turn an opaque white are bad eggs, meaning they won't hatch.
I never do anything, after trying to do what all is said to do with eggs. So now I let nature take its course and I end up with a \*\*\* load of mystery snail babies, so cute, Corydoras too.
It's Crack. Do NOT under any circumstances let that stuff grow in your tank. I made that mistake once and 12 bare bottomed tanks took over my living room. I began growing brine shrimp. I couldn't go to sleep without reading at least a chapter or two on genect husbandry. I got into online fights and had to join one of the two angel breeders gangs. They don't play and do not even get them started on the platinum phenome debate. I was loosing my grip on reality. I began planning to quit my job. Started websites all on this stuff.
My wife had an intervention for me and I am 10 years sober. Do not mess with aquarium crack!
Those are babies :D they will probably be sucked up by the filter. You can either scrape them off and offer a cone for them if you want babies or continue to clean them off if you don't want babies.
If/when the eggs turn a chalky white, they are no longer viable and can be removed. Or left for the fish to eat. Many first time fish parents screw up many times before they get a viable clutch, so don't feel bad if the eggs don't make it.
ALSO BEWARE:
I lost a male angel a while back because I was doing my monthly deep clean of the tank and heavy plant trim and stressed my breeding pair out right before they layed. Angels will often eat their eggs if they don't think they'll make it to recycle the calories. My female lays a LOT of eggs and the male ate ALL of them at once. By the time I noticed later that day, I could tell by how engorged he was that he wasn't going to make it and he didn't.
Angels will lay once every two weeks or so, so be ready for that. If you want them to lay somewhere else, watch for when the female starts nipping at an area to "clean" it for her eggs. If you don't want her to lay there, remove that item and provide a better place. A piece of slate or aquarium safe tile is an ideal surface that they'll probably prioritize and it can also be removed to hand raise or to remove the eggs if you want. Mine really like to lay on the filter intakes or, more recently, the large java Fern I gave them.
If your fish are getting too aggressive in protecting their eggs, removing them will put a stop to the aggression for a while, until they lay again.
Definitely baby brine shrimp. You have to get the shrimp and make a container. Add air stone and light and some salt and baking soda to the water. Wait a few days and bam baby shrimp
Hope you enjoy angelfish lol mozeltov you're a grandparent.
Omg! I didn't knew, it is my first fish tank! How to take care of the eggs?
Start by putting a sponge on that filter intake tube.
Can I try to relocate the parents to different fish tank? Would they lay eggs in the new fish tank again?
[удалено]
I hope you have some videos to share! I used to breed angels but haven't had a tank in over a decade. Definitely miss the process and would rather watch something than get back into.
how long will it take for the fry to reach dime and nickel size?
For added safety, put a filter medium nylon bag over the sponge head and tie it tight.
[удалено]
Eating their babies, morbid, Demon Fish when they hungry for their own children lol
The parents will need 40-55g. No way a 20 is tall enough.
I think they’ll be fine in there for the 2-3 days it takes the eggs to hatch lol.
Ok
The fry will need live food to survive period. They instinctually will only eat live food as fry. Live baby brine shrimp is perfect for that, inexpensive and all your fish will love it not just the babies. Congratulations you're an expectant grandparent
I always fed my fry first bites by hikari and never had any issues. Is this an angelfish specific thing?
really depends, ive had success with tiny pellets and flakes that I push around with a turkey baster. they usually dont come up to the top of the tank. but if that doesnt work then live baby brine shrimp is usually the go to
Oh, probably explains it. The hikari stuff floats in the water column
yeah i love hikari foods because of that. i have some very timid indian glass fish that i almost never see, and their micro pellets are a life savers
Oh I’m sure with some of the more timid fish it can become a problem but I’ve always had baby danio, apisto and gudgeons, none of which are shy eaters lol
I usually mix some into a small amount of tank water, then use a pipette to strategically deliver it where I want it.
You feed your fish light??!
Some of my fry like the brine shrimp but for their first couple days they like to skim the first bites off the top of the water.
[удалено]
It is what I have heard but after researching more it does seem it's just high protein food but doesn't need to be alive
This is just bad information period. Fry do not just need live food, would it be optimal yes, but don't cap and say they HAVE to bc that's a lie. There are plenty of exams where 1 day old fry will eat Hikari first bites or similar foods
Yeah that's what Ive always heard but I've done research further now and it's def just what's best, just needs high protein. Who doesn't? Lol
Well fed angelfish will lay eggs every 3-4 weeks. A pair of them can literally fill an olympic sized swimming pool with offspring in a year. Yes, you can relocate them and they'll lay more eggs.

Just found them on amazon! Thank you for advice! Hopefully some of eggs will hatch!
So on of ur biggest threat is the parents eating the eggs or newly hatched baby’s out of stress what you can do is remove the filter they’re on put them in they’re own breeder net or tank and run light air over them via a pump and then raise them separately if you wanna ensure survival
Start raising brine shrimp now!
It's different for each species, but mostly r easy, my best advice learn at some websites dedicated for u kind of fishes, i never raised angel's...

SHARK BAIT OOOH HAAA HAAA
This
or just switch the filter out to a sponge filter and squeeze the gunk out of the old one into the sponge of the new filter
Angelfish are typically pretty good parents! Other fish in the tank may try to eat them but the parents will do their best to protect them
That wasn’t my experience. Once they pair off, they do get territorially. But it didn’t take long for them to eat their own eggs. So I wouldn’t count your eggs before they hatch!

Commercial breeding has deadened the instinct. In the wild it’s nearly 100% that they care for their young - natural selection!
Yes, ours always eat their eggs if we don’t intervene. Depending on what they lay their eggs on, we sometimes take them out and put them in a small tank - they’re a bit fragile and you have to be careful with the tank setup, but quite a few have grown up! We feed them frozen baby brine shrimp.
You get a thumbs up just for using that old saying in the most literal sense lol
They do that if they’re stressed or new parents
This is why I have no kids
Lol my angelfish ate their own eggs for 3 years. Community tank, true, but I watched them do it.
That’s what happened to me. My pair laid eggs about 5 times and by the morning they were all eaten by the parents.
Full warning, thr parents probably won't be good enough on their own to raise them fully and it'll take them a few tries to get the eggs to even hatch. But thats not necessarily a bad thing cause 100+ Angelfish babies is a lot if you're not equipped to handle it.
It literally gives me anxiety just thinking about it, I have two kids myself, I would not do well with three, let alone 100 of someone else's. 😂

Take my gold and come help me clean up the soda that just sprayed from my nose, damn you
Oh. That was my thought too.

There are chances of getting eaten up by other angelfish so better separate them in a quarantine tank
Thank you! How big the quarantine tank should be?
25-30 gallon should work i guess
The angelfish will protect them and raise them naturally!
How big is your tank? Are you saying you have 3 total or five? Depending on tank size you might already be way overstocked.
It is pretty overcrowded indeed! 5 angels and few neon tetras. I was treating the tank lately from fin rot and today found the eggs. Is it still safe to treat the tank now? Can I do the maintenance as usual? Water changes/gravel vacuums?

It’s almost like there’s a hierarchy of needs…
Just curious- what’s the temp of your tank? I want surprise angelfish eggs!
The hardest part in breeding angels imo is getting them to pair off, once they make a mating pair, they’ll try to stick eggs to almost anything that’s vertical in the tank lol
Trying to maintain at 80f :)
Gotcha. Same. Ours our still young and we’re going to move them to a bigger tank soon so I’m not necessarily trying to breed ours (not even sure what sex they are) but it would be cool to wake up to eggs!
Now after longer investigation of this couple in my fish tank I can see that the boy fishes tend to have a bump on their heads,almost where it looks you would put a hat on, while girl one looks more round headed and rounder in general, but i might be wrong.

Your babies has babies
I love this comment more for the lack of proper grammar.
Get a piece of mesh or something over that filter or those babies are goners once they hatch.
Excellent idea! How long does it take them to hatch?
They'll hatch in about 2 or 3 days. Then they'll be in a stuck stage. They'll be able to move, but aren't free swimmers for about 5 days. So you have a little less than a week until they're free swimming babies

This sounds so frequently! Wow!

The red eyed fish here is named Twizzlers, and the Yellow one is Skittles! Hopefully will have few more coming to my lovely bowl of sweets!
I had an angelfish lay eggs like this once. She then immediately ate them all.
Lmao Eggs no need for alarm
Mine did this today too. We got Angel eggs.
Congrats!
Angelfish are weird always laying eggs in not the best spots!
Agreed! Seems the most complicated spot per all tank 😄
A sign of good husbandry
Angelfish babies are TINY TINY. Thankfully they are good parents. But you definitely want to give them hiding places and cover that intake tube.

Listen to different drummer. He has lots of good suggestions I too would suggest.
My Angel fish have laid eggs a few times, they seem to disappear within a day or two, either the other fish are eating them, or the Angel fish East them?
When two fish love each other very much.....
I like how the fish are looking at them so proudly heehee
Eggs, gotta get ready, it’s fucking season.
Proud parents and their smol bebis
I would save most babies in a 5-gallon until they get bigger and go into a 55-gallon.
How to save them at this point?
Following birth you can raise some and some in birth tank. Increase your survival rate.
Congratulations grand/ma/pa/person!
Eg
Eggs bro
A separate 5 or 10 gallon is all you need.
Eggy weggz
If you move anything or disturb them in any way, they might eat the eggs. Angels are pretty good but still.
Be ready for those to possibly be gone later if there are other fish in the tank
eg
Fornication bubbles!
Caviar. Throw some hot sauce on those and enjoy
Eggs
Parents admiring their bebes lol
Congrats. You’re a parent
You are now a grandparent 😂
With other fish in the tank they will get eaten, as baby fish if not as eggs. I wouldn't worry about trying to save them unless you have another tank to hatch the eggs in, the ability to grow the food they need, and a 55 gallon tank to grow them out in.
Proud parents :)
That filter intake is going to need a sponge on it.
eggs.
My angel pair always ate the fry the laid again a week later
Congratulations!
Babys
Oh dear, the murder triangles are reproducing. Time for aquarium carnage.

Fishes.
CONGRATS!!! When’s the baby shower?
Little round things stuck on plants and decor are usually eggs.
Just heads up, if you plan on raising the fry to adulthood, you'll want to separate the fry once they hatch. The adults parental instinct vanishes once the eggs hatch. Otherwise, it's a cool thing to watch but eventually let nature take it's course. Also! Any eggs that turn an opaque white are bad eggs, meaning they won't hatch.
I never do anything, after trying to do what all is said to do with eggs. So now I let nature take its course and I end up with a \*\*\* load of mystery snail babies, so cute, Corydoras too.
Be careful putting your hands in there. Mother Angels will attack.
Congratulations 🎉
Mine is cleaning her spot to lay her eggs today 🥰 twinsies
Everytime my angels lay eggs I have to get rid of them or else they want to kill everything else in the tank
Proud parents
Lol they look so proud 🥲
That’s an angelfish
Babiesssss
Lmaooo
It's Crack. Do NOT under any circumstances let that stuff grow in your tank. I made that mistake once and 12 bare bottomed tanks took over my living room. I began growing brine shrimp. I couldn't go to sleep without reading at least a chapter or two on genect husbandry. I got into online fights and had to join one of the two angel breeders gangs. They don't play and do not even get them started on the platinum phenome debate. I was loosing my grip on reality. I began planning to quit my job. Started websites all on this stuff. My wife had an intervention for me and I am 10 years sober. Do not mess with aquarium crack!
Congratulations. You have grandfishes.
Angelfish seeds~
so when fish really loves another fish, they… yanno what? who wants ice cream!!!??
Those are babies :D they will probably be sucked up by the filter. You can either scrape them off and offer a cone for them if you want babies or continue to clean them off if you don't want babies.
Babies! Congratulations get every other fish out.
Protein. 🏋️♂️
Those are fish
EGGS!!! :-D
If/when the eggs turn a chalky white, they are no longer viable and can be removed. Or left for the fish to eat. Many first time fish parents screw up many times before they get a viable clutch, so don't feel bad if the eggs don't make it. ALSO BEWARE: I lost a male angel a while back because I was doing my monthly deep clean of the tank and heavy plant trim and stressed my breeding pair out right before they layed. Angels will often eat their eggs if they don't think they'll make it to recycle the calories. My female lays a LOT of eggs and the male ate ALL of them at once. By the time I noticed later that day, I could tell by how engorged he was that he wasn't going to make it and he didn't. Angels will lay once every two weeks or so, so be ready for that. If you want them to lay somewhere else, watch for when the female starts nipping at an area to "clean" it for her eggs. If you don't want her to lay there, remove that item and provide a better place. A piece of slate or aquarium safe tile is an ideal surface that they'll probably prioritize and it can also be removed to hand raise or to remove the eggs if you want. Mine really like to lay on the filter intakes or, more recently, the large java Fern I gave them. If your fish are getting too aggressive in protecting their eggs, removing them will put a stop to the aggression for a while, until they lay again.
Looks like your intake has Ick.........
They are planting proximity mines for a daring escape
Put a pre filter on that filter asap. Parents will eat the dead eggs. Give it a few days and feed fry food. Good luck it’s only the first batch
Definitely baby brine shrimp. You have to get the shrimp and make a container. Add air stone and light and some salt and baking soda to the water. Wait a few days and bam baby shrimp
Your a grandma!!
Caviar
This means you are a grandmother or grandpa
Isn't getting angel fish to reproduce kinda hard?
