angel fish spawn

[jimmy]

hi my angel fish had there first spawn today a bit worried should i move the other 4 angels out thoughts

[joz]

Yep I'd get rid of anything that is not a parent and also get rid of the internal power filter.The fry wil all get sucked into it.
The sponge filter will do just fine.

[jimmy]

after i posted this message watched parents eat the eggs thought this would happen given its there first spawn

[wombat1100]

Thats a bugger, maybe next time mate

[joz]

Perhaps next time.
but get rid of the other fish so that the parents will be relaxed,it may help stop them doing it again.
If they persist on eating the eggs remove the eggs into their own tank and rear the young yourself.

i love to move them to another tank but i cant selling unit for a house so hopefully will sell quick so i can build my fish room were wife cant see how many tanks i have
need more tanks getting over run with fry lol

[jimmy]

hi guys angel fish have breed again dam havent got room at the moment this time layed eggs on filter i no filter no good for babys
heres a question i thought i might pull filter out and scrap eggs into a glass jar filling with tank water and putting back into tank withair stone in jar what do you think my chance will be thanks

[joz]

Now if you had removed the power filter and just left the sponge filter everything would have been fine.
My only suggestion would be to turn the power filter off once the young hatch and leave the filtration up to the sponge.

[jimmy]

hi eggs hatched
put fry in a jar with tank water and put jar back in tank see how they go

[dazzas]

How are the fry going in the jar?

My angels have spawned 3 times in my comunity tank but have eaten the eggs each time or maybe it was the clown loachs or pleco not sure.
