Angels Spawn

Ok...so my angel pair spawned again this weekend, and man....there are ALOT more eggs this time round...

Will keep you guys in the loop :bigsmile:

 

congrats @arcky1

Cant wait till my angels are old enough to get them paired off and ready for spawning.

 

Its fun getting them started, but trust me its a all new ball game when they do,, your gonna need more tanks and pairs get sick of each other as well,, I got about 15pairs and maintaining the peace is a full time job,, but good luck anyways!!

 

remember to buy brine shrimp eggs and salt the next time you visit the pet shop.
Youll need it when they become free swimming.
Congrats on the spawn.

 

I have salt that i bought from my LPS a little while back. Yeah i bought some frozen food from Jungle A.

Here are the latest pics, the wriggling has occured.....lol




Sorry for the poor pic quality

 

Hi arcky1,
You'll have to look at hatching some live brine shrimp if you want any chance in rearing the fry.
Start feeding as soon as the become free swimming (at least twice a day)
The salt is required for hatching the brine shrimp. (see posts on hatching bs or search the web)
Best is to start 2 batches at 12 hour intervals to ensure you have newly hatched shrimps every time you feed, there nutritional value declines as they get bigger.

I also use salt in my grow-out tanks as a general tonic @ handfull/80Lt's.

 

Concur what mattie says re the brineshrimp. I have had amazing growth on my angel spawn using freshly hatched brineshrimp and my first spawn is 7 weeks old and big enough to take Prof Dirks granulate no1. If you dont have any pm the Prof and get your hands on some of this stuff. My angels take it eagerly.

Good luck

oh yeah, and as SCP mentioned...............get more tanks!!
