Rebecca Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 My Platinum Angelfish laid eggs on Sunday night while I was watching them. They laid 2 weeks ago in my community tank and when I moved them ate their eggs of course so I've had them sitting in a tank on their own since then and they've rewarded me by laying again. I've only had these guys 3 weeks so I'm really pleased. At the moment the babies are just eggs with tails but the parents seem to be doing a great job so far. So now I have these, baby pearl gourami, baby guppies, platys and golden axolotls. Life is good :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 It depends on what you want but if you remove the parents they will breed again sooner and they cannot eat the eggs. You can also leave them in there and watch them look after the young or eat them. If they are what I think they are they will have double blusher and gold genes and are not very common.

Rebecca Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Thanks for that Alan, the babies are being very well looked after by Mum and Dad and are now eyes and tails :lol: I had thought of putting the parents back into the coomunity tank when the babies are free swimming as they should be able to look after themselves from there I think? I've got lots of live food at the moment as I've been using it for the baby pearl gouramis. These Angels I saw in a petshop under the label Platinums, they're white with a gold or blue tinge on them depending on the light. Does this sound like the fish you're thinking of? They're very striking and it looks like the other 2 I have are pairing up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
