brother bear Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Howdy gang I've cracked the darkies on my betta's for the minute the pair has been in the spwan tank for 2 weeks now with nothing happening, so i'm kicking them out to make room for angel fry My pair of koi angels have spawned in the 4ft community tank i estimate about 200 eggs, i'll have some pics up shortly BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hey Jamie, congrats! Did you move the fry as eggs, wrigglers or later? Did they lay on the filter inlet tube again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother bear Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thanks Lisa i'm going to move them as wrigglers, they didn't lay on the pipe this time because i was on to them i sectioned of a section of the tank to make them comfortable and they layed on a nice big sword leaf, i've decided to let the parents do the hard work and i will move them to a grow out tank when they have tails I'm uploading some pics now BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betta_Endeavours Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Very nice going there, congrats. We originally got about 5 or six angelfish just like your female but couldn't get a successful spawn. They did a better job of killing each other. We have one really old one left and not sure if we'll get them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Those are great pics! Do you think its possible that you actually have a pair of females? Ive read taht females can pair up and spawn, then eventually just eat eachothers eggs. If they do it again, i would suggest removing theleaf and putting it into a sepearte tank with and airstone on low flowing past the eggs for good water movement. Would be interesting to see if they actually hatch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I read an article recently that said that angels are getting too hybridised to be trusted with their own eggs and a lot of commercial breeders hatch the eggs away from the parents.
