BREEDING ANGELFISH:
THE HATCHING OF THE EGGS:angelfish like to deposit their eggs on a verticle support1/2way up the aquarium(but do not be surprised if they pick different spots,glass pane/heater)She deposits eggs with a vertical movement,starting@the bottom.Then the male proceeds exactly the same way in order to fertalise eggs&so on(300-500 eggs are laid,sometimes more)
THOUGHTFUL PARENTS:
most parents look after their young carefull(keep watch)although there are some who will eat fry/eggs(usually they just eat whats unfertalised or defective in some way)
They aerate the eggs taking turrns to flap their pectorial fins in front of clutch,disgarding unfertalised or those afflicted with fungal diseases.After 48hrs@30c,the young fish point their noses outside.The membrane surrounding them is sometimes resistant to the hatching,in which case parents assist(chew it up)to help larvae come out into the aquarium.The parents still look after offspring,even taking them in mouth to protect from predators.
So if you can leave@least the mother in till fry are free swimming
FEEDING THE BROOD:
After the fry have absorbed the yolk sac&are@free swimming stage,they must be fed.Newly hatched brine shrimp is ideal.Add a multi vitamin solution to curb any possible deficiencies which lead to poor development.Distribute food 4-5x a day in very small amounts.Next stage foods:ground fish,bloodworms,prawns,flake later ect.Syphon every day&your fish will be capable of breeding from the following year.
Provide plants especially amazon types(like to lay eggs on)
Get a b/bs hatchery going now&be ready…very easy!
Any help???
