markvs Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Just looked at the angels tonight, and noticed that they seem to be a pair, egg tube/little willie pair. Looked in later :roll: They were doin' it. a patch of eggs on the in tank filter. So; the plan is to remove the eggs at the sessation of laying, transfer them to another tank and hope.... Any help /suggestions welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsmith Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Did you actually see them 'doing it'? I can only imagine how that looks! I kinda thought that the female lays, and the male squirts sperm everywhere. Maybe not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markvs Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yes, we actually saw them in action, and they wern't even put off by us, which is good. definately on the maybe not, sperm wise, he just followed on just as quietly as she did, running up the row.. We have removed the filter last night, as they eggs were in the community tank, and could not have lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markvs Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Update: they have hatched, but along with them are a large number of what appear to be nematode type worms, will they be a problem?? There appear to be about 20-30 remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 What's a large number in regards to the worms? The worms are probably hookworms or something, and I think would probably kill the babies. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to treat them without harming the babies - maybe salt? Otherwise you're going to be getting into harsher chemicals. I'd be treating the parents and other fish too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
