minchton Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Anybody Please help I have a 4foot tank with 4 angels and 8 Gourami's. a pair of angels have just spawned on a tank ornament and I need advice. This is their first time. Do I take the eggs out? leave things alone? panic? wait till the possible fry hatch and then remove them? or what do you experts suggest Please help Thanks Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to raise the fry from this batch then I'd remove the eggs ASAP into a smaller tank with some methylene blue and an airstone to keep the water moving. > leave things alone? You could leave things alone but I'd bet the eggs and/or fry will get eaten within a week. You could remove all the fish other than the angels but the adults may still eat the eggs and/or fry - especially if stressed by your fishing... > panic? No need. > wait till the possible fry hatch and then remove them? That could work, if the eggs make it that far. > or what do you experts suggest ... I'm no expert but since the eggs are on a tank ornament you may never have a better opportunity to try raising the fry away from the adults. From now on they'll spawn on something immovable - I bet Whatever happens, the adults will probably want to spawn again in 2 or 3 weeks... Andrew.

Pegasus Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Hi Mitch, A four footer seems a rather big tank for a dozen fish. Is there no way you could divide the tank off and leave the Angels to it. ? Worth the effort if you can do it (see Nomadic Angel post) Happy Days, Bill (Pegasus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
