Breeding Angelfish in community tank

Hey all,

New to this hobby. Got donated a 20l tank last year with one Zebra danio, today I have a 60l tank(I know nothing to brag about) 5 Zebra's, two Albino cory's and two Angels, Freddie and Bully.

Initially I had Freddie(10 months), felt sorry for him got two more (I know small tank, but shop only sold pairs of two) The two are about 5 months old I guess and the moment I put them with Freddie, Bully started attacking the other one, then they teamed up and both of them started to bully the 3rd Angel.

Two weeks ago I removed the 3rd Angel. Then to my amazement 3 days ago I see the below.


So I put two and two together and realized Freddie is a MOMMY!!!

Day two.

Bully looking proud, not sure if I agree with his and her standards, Bully is like a teenager, right!

Day 3


Some un-fertilized eggs, both of them are eating the dead eggs and fanning them non stop.

Day 4


Overnight they decided it was time to move them to another leave, and behold wigglers!
Short while ago they had AONOTHER major move and picked another leave.

Ill keep you updated what happens next. I have no separate tank, so would be fun seeing how they try and raise them in a community tank. Let nature do its thing haha.

 

Awesome setup, love the brackish efect

 

Thanks, found a piece of burned fynbos log, soaked it for two weeks and chucked it in, love the effect of it.

 

This morning I woke up too a swarm of free swimming fry, easily 100. Sorry for the bad pics below, both parent get SUPPER annoyed if I come to close to them lol
Gonna cook some egg yolk for these little daemons.

 

Made a video, see how the male releases a fry at the end. These two are a classic example of "Helicopter parent"

 

Do you have to feed them still if the parents are looking after them?

 

Not sure, don't think they will eat themselves to death.

 

I have some free swimming fry, but algea is taken over after I have removed the other fish from the community tank as soon as we saw the eggs. Can I put ottos back in the tank with the parents and fry?
