Finally i have Angel eggs

Hi All

this happened on monday night and i have been so busy that i couldn't post.

this is what i looked like on monday night

and then i went to cpt tuesday and wednesday, and last night this is what it looked like. its purple because my white light was off

 

my qyestion is...

those eggs that have gone whitish.. are they frot or hatched?
and how long till these guys start swimming and need to be removed. the parents are still there.

 

Wow that's fantastic @Ammar, I wish you luck on the fry, let's hope you get lots of healthy ones!!

 

thank you so much, these are from a pair of golden. i really hope i get something out of it. they really are beautiful

 

congrats mate u a baby daddy now lol,still not sure which is the vrot colour,the eggs normally hatch in 3 days.

 

ill have a closer look tonight. if it is what do i do? not sure if i have the right name (methaline blue) should i chuck some of that in there?

 

lol thanx Athol. this means i should have some swimmer tonight or tomorow... i still havent removed the 5 tetras from the tank. but they all sitting quietly in a corner the father is vicious.. even when i come close to the tank he goes for me and hits against the glass... is this normal behaviour?

 

oh ok cool, so if by tomorow they havent hatched .. do i remove them or just leave them as fish food? worried they will spoil my water..

 

no i wouldnt move them,leave the parents to do what they do thats how they learn.took mine 10 tries before i ever saw a fry swimming on its own which is about 3 after hatching.the parents would move them around a few times while they were pap babies.

 

yessi im not patient enogh hey...

 

The white eggs are the infertile ones. Don't move the eggs or the fry - have you started a batch of brineshrimp to feed the fry once they are freeswimming?

 

Very normal behavior for cichlids, the angels are very protective of their young.

 

i have yes, just struggling to get a high hatch rate on my BS... i think either im using crappy salt or too much salt.. will have to test salinity. was in cpt yesterday and wanted to get some sea water but never made it..
