Re: Ekkk! Angel eggs!!

Victorea:
I think on the first spawn you should leave them alone and let them figure
out what they want to do, unless you have an empty tank to move the eggs to.
That will give you a chance to see if the angels are fertile, if they are
going to eat the eggs, and if they might want to guard the fry. The eggs or
fry will get eaten sooner or later (unless you nab a few), but once the pair
has started spawning they'll keep doing it every two to four weeks anyway.
If they learn to be good parents (fending off the other fish) you might
think about letting them have that 20 for themselves.
So maybe you should do nothing until after the betta show (unless you've got
empty tanks ready now).
