    Look at the leaf of the plant the Angel is staring at...

    Here is another pic of the parents guarding the eggs

    Not as many eggs in this spawn as in the spawn in my 100l. I might need to put this pair in my 60l do give them their own breeding space.

    Hawk I figured it out!
    You have aggressive snails that are really fast and can catch free swimming fry!

    Tank looks nice @Hawk , vallis is awful unless in a low tech, growsall over and makes HUGE horrible root networks. Your angels look nice man.

    On the subject of angels, what tankmates can they have? I am lookimg at getting 5-6 for my 250l but I also want a few smaller fish..... what can I keep with them? Might have to start a new thread......

    @hviviers75 - I will get a side shot tonight.

    @FishLover - Get your Angels small and add your "other" fish at the same time and you might be lucky. Apparantly anything that fits in their mouth is food? Not sure as I have never seen them eating any of my fish. I have Cardinals, Harlequin Rasbora, Black Emperor Tetra (avoid these if you want fry!), Dwarf Gouramis, GBR's, SAE and Guppies and these all seem to be ok in my tank. I had most of these fish in the tank before I got my Angels.

    Guppies or guppy fry? Mine certainly will eat fry. Maybe my Guppies are eating the Angel fry as revenge :laugh:

    If they only ate the fry I would not be bothered, but they eat big females of 5cm.
