[GSAS-Member] What a surprise!

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

I have been so busy lately, I think I haven't looked too closely at my 
tanks.  I'd been doing water changes and all but had not taken the time to 
observe my fish like I normally do.  This evening I got home from work, and 
noticed one of my angel fish acting VERY territorial and protecting a fake 
plant with another.  I looked a little closer and saw babies!  This is my 
100g tank that I have used as an "extra" fish tank, it has about 18 angels 
in it, waiting to pair off, along with some corys, tetras, plecos, a FW 
lobster, and a few young discus.  Without thinking, I scooped up as many of 
the adult angels I could, and put them in another tank to get them out of 
the way.  I left the discus in there because they didn't seem to be going 
after the babies.  The babies are swimming, and there appear to be about 30. 
 How the heck did I miss this?  The pair is a very strange mix.  One is a 
beautiful perfect koi, with lots of bright orange, the other is black.  I am 
very curious to see what the babies will be like, if they make it.  I am so 
mad at myself.  I am usually so good at finding the pairs before they spawn 
and putting them in their own tank.  Should I leave the discus in with them, 
or should I try and catch them and put them in their own tank?  Thanks!
Monica
