Dixon1990 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 My pair of angels have layed eggs all over the filter and i do not have a spare tank heater or filter. So i was wondering if any of them get to free swimming would a few of them would be alright in a net breeder with a few BN fry? Here are some pics of the eggs and Parents(the black one is the female): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Certainly. If you leave the net in the main tank the adult angels will have great fun sucking the fry through the net 8) Leave a light on all the time (doesn't have to be much) to help the parents guard otherwise they won't last anyway.

Caryl Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 They wil get aggro if anything approaches but rarely do damage. Fry will be free swimming after 4 or 5 days I think once they have absorbed the egg sac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 The black is female and the gold male. You look at the angle of the body line behind the pectoral fins. On the male it is more like 45 degrees and with the female it is more like 90 degrees to the anal fin. The ovipositor is larger in the female (when showing). I have also been reliably informed that the female lays the eggs. The female will also get fat in the belly (usually more on one side) when ready to lay eggs.
