Re: [GSAS-Member] angelfish egg advice

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

Thank you Steev.  I think the parents are good parents.  The last 2 spawns 
were not that successful and I'm pretty sure it is because I had just moved 
them into a different tank.  Now they seem comfortable in their home.  I was 
going to remove the slate last night and didn't have the heart to.  They 
were both doing such a nice job fanning the eggs, I decided to just let them 
be and see what happens.  I'd rather just let fish do it naturally.  Thank 
you for your advice.

Monica
