    I think the reason why the female went into attacking mode is that my shadow could have spooked her when I passed the tank during the course of the early hours of the morning. The bed-lamp light attracted the fry to the one side of the tank and the male was guarding this batch and female had a small batch.

    By friday the eggs had hatched and parents removed wrigglers from the filter plate where they had spawned and place fry in an area where they had prepared. By this morning some of the fry became free swimming, added a few drops of liqui-fry in the tank and fry started come up to feed.

    I have tried to give this pair a break by adding them with my other angels. It took them 3 days to adapt but found their way back to each other. I removed them and placed them back into their spawning tank and 3 days later at it again. This pair is on the roll and how they could show my other Angels a lesson on how to spawn and taking care of their eggs and fry. One female tried laying her eggs onto one of the other angels I found it very funny.
