Re: Angel Eggs Anyone?

[Kate Breimayer <kate@munat.com>]

My LFS angels are currently doing a fine job raising over 100 babies, 
and I wasn't wanting to breed either. Stuck them in a community tank 
with lots of plants and 3 days later I have a couple hundred eggs. . If 
you take the eggs away from your pair, they will probably just make 
more. You might be in for an angel bonanza either way. Are there other 
fish in the tank? The parents can get territorial and kill them, 
although mine hatched and reared a spawn with a couple dozen killifish 
in the tank with no problems, other than predation by the killies. 
Raising hundreds of angel babies is going to be a huge space issue too, 
I don't have room for all these babies...
You can feed angel fry BBS, and  below is a link on raising their eggs. 
I too just recently got into angels and didn't think they would spawn, 
and 3 days later... They spawned again right away when I took their 
babies away so you might have to figure out a long term strategy with 
them. I put mine in a 26 tall show tank with a ton of plants and am 
making them raise the babies, so they will be too busy to spawn weekly. 
So far so good.
Good luck!
