Angel + Convict Fry

[SpidersWeb]

Hey all,

Our convicts and angels laid at the same time. Since we haven't bred convicts before and they're in a tank with a rather nasty Jag, we wanted to remove them, and the angels are with bristlenose who like to eat at night, so want to remove these eggs too.

To cut a long story short I only have one tank available.

Since the eggs were laid the same day, will the fry be OK hatching together? Angels are the silver two stripe (wild) type, so they're badass angels not fancy types if that makes a difference.

Cheers,

Jono

If you put a divider in the "hatching tank" you may get away with it. The divider will have to be "baby-proof", which means REAL tight fitting.

But if you want, you could also hatch both lots without parents and raise the babies if you are successful, with one another.

Yeah that was the idea I dont trust cichlids the first time around, once I've bred something then future breedings I leave alone, but first time I always remove the eggs. Was just wondering if the fry would be ok together, sounds like they will be.

I've had to move my Apistogramma Agasezii in with my week old GBAs already, they seem happy enough together so far.

On another note, 3/4 of the angel eggs went white, looks like daddy needs to improve his aim, and mummy needs to stop laying eggs on the filter outlet :roll: Naturally convict eggs are perfectly fertilised. Need to remove these soon as the Jag could fit Mumsy in it's mouth if it wanted and it's not appreciating being told to Get Lost.
