Matt_95 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks, I really like him/her, its realy inteligent, more so than a betta IMO, maybe I just think that because its eyes move. I'm hoping to get 5 more. They are absolutly amazing! Very friendly towards me, new fish usually take a while to warm up to me. This would have to be my favourite colour, I think I shoal of 6 would look amazing in my tank :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_95 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Just and update on these guys, I was doing some trimming and I found some eggs on my A. ulvaeus, they were eating them >.< not many left probabaly between 50 and 100. They are flaoting in a take away container, no idea what to do now eek. Any tips? At least I now have a proven pair :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_95 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks, they are so small, I can't believe they can breed already! I don't have Methylene Blue, anyone know if I can use multicure to prevent them getting fungused? It has that in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 multicure as a last resort (it has malachite green in it)..... You need to keep a good water flow over the eggs so an air stone slowly bubbling near the eggs should help keep the water moving..... once the fry hatch they will hang on with a tiny thread to the leaf but can become detached and fall to the bottom.... useful to put them in a nylon sieve with an air stone under it to keep water moving and not let them stay still on the bottom..... once they are free swimming you are fine to start feeding them up on bbs or mw or ve.....

melbournebetta Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/breeding/angelfish.php " Once the eggs have been layed theplastic can be moved to another tank or the pair can be removed and the inlethose can then be placed over the eggs to provide water circulation and supplyoxygen. Methylene blue or malachite green are sometimes added to the water toprevent fungi or bacteria from growing on the eggs." - http://www.breedingaquariumfish.com/breeding_angel_fish/ x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 be careful of power filters and their spray bars and inlet hoses.... you don't want to blast the eggs and developing fry off the leaf or whatever they're attached to..... forgot to ask... did the parents attack you? Mine are savage if you try to take their eggs away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I found the dosages for multicure, 0.125ml per litre. Will have to use that. They layed more eggs so many lol I'll be using an air stone in a 4 litre jar. Can't figure out how to secure the leaf though.... They are very friendly actually, didn't mind at all. Will be using MW as thats all I have on hand. Pictures of the parents are being downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Here are the piccies. As you can see my tank is a mess, its currently a holding tank for the many plants I have collected, half of it is tacken up by a giant lotus. That thing is massive! Its tacken over Male Female, you can see her egg tube The pair Eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbites Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 If you have a flat piece of slate or plastic mesh - tie the leaf onto that so it has some stability and leave it on an angle of about10o to 15o from the vertical ..... 4 litre jar will be fine to hatch them in.....

Matt_95 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've got gutterguard, it floats though... Can weigh the base down probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Doesn't have to be mesh - as long as it doesn't float and its solid enough to tie or clip the leaf to it and let it lean against the side of the jar.... then get the water circulating in there....

Matt_95 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I can't find anything! Might just try the guttergaurd when they finish laying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) If you don't have a piece of glass or a flat stone or anything else.... tie a rock on the bottom of it then and if you have chopsticks or wooden skewers thread them down the sides of the gutter guard to keep it a bit stable...
