So many different things you can do. I would go on youtube and see what other people have done. It is one thing to read it but another to actually watch someone do it

You don't really do anything. If they are a good pair, they will take care of everything. The female usually fans the eggs and the male usually guards the area and chases off any fish that come by. If the eggs turn white, that means that they messed up. However if they eggs are still good after 48hrs then you'll most likely see little tails wiggling in about 12 hours. At this point, the parents will move the hatched eggs to a safe area where they can guard them until they become free swimming. Once they become free swimming, they will chase after any runners and suck them up in their mouths then gently puff them back out into the pile with the rest of the newly hatched angels. Just sit back and watch and let nature take its course. |

Well Second spawn happened last night. We shall see what happens They will probably spawn every 10 days or so if you pull the eggs and try to raise them artificially . Best of luck with them . Practice makes perfect as they say . |

I partitioned my tank 3
Days ago and glad I did. My pair are at it again, this time take layer on my Anubis leaves. They seem to be much happier since they have their own space. I have a video of the spawning and will try to post it. Was very cool to see!!!!!

Awesome, hopefully you'll get to see the parents in action this time around.

Well Day three update. Most of the eggs have the white fungus. I'm gonna dose methylene blue next time they spawn. Mom is fanning the eggs frequently and trying to pick out the bad ones. The last time they spawned by day 3 all the eggs had disappeard, so we are getting closer to having angel babies. guess this is a learning experience for all three of us

Apparently the fourth time is the charm. I checked in on Mom and dad and noticed one of my Anubis leaves moving, on closer inspection I realized there were teeny tiny eggs with tails. I had not even realized momma had laid eggs. These two seem to be learning something new on every try
