oO SKIPPY Oo Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 1 of my angels started getting picked on last week but wasnt sure why then after a water change today 2 of my other angels started spawning in the corner of my community tank !! then all my other fish started eating the eggs - DOH - i have just moved the parents to my nursery tank luckily i keep my tanks at the same temp but will the parents start spawing again in this tank or will they give up with stress etc from the move ?

twinkles Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 from what i've read they should spawn again in about a week, good luck and congrats wish mine would get their act together :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 is the aggressive behaviour between angels normal ? the one being attacked is looking really bad - fins torns, and scales looking taty etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 The aggression is normal when the want to breed. If the pair are removed things should settle down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 since i moved the 2 parents out of the community tank things are much better - im not sure if they tried spawning again in the small tank last night - i did see a couple of eggs floating around the tank before i went to bed but this morning i couldnt see them anymore... whats the average time between spawns ?

oO SKIPPY Oo Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 mine layed every week for 5 weeks oh jesus - that could be alot of fry going by the amount i saw get gobbled up last night - i have fairly powerful internal filter in the nursery tank will that affect the amount of fry that survive ? if it will - is there any way that I can slow it down - ie blockages or something to slow it down ?

SamH Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 If the filter is likely to suck up any fry then cover it in an old stocking or sponge or wool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
