Zoom's Ex Angels Spawning

As you can see it was Zoom's Angels.

Thanx Zoom.:bigsmile:

They are very happy in their new Habitat as you can see and started spawning after about 4 hours.

 

Thanks for the photos slojo - now I do not have to ask if what I spotted in my tank this morning, snail or angle eggs - LOL ... lucky I have some tank mates that will ensure that nothing hatches.

 

You Sh!tt!ng me Slojo....

You left my place at 11h00... got home at 12h00 (at a guess), and they have already spawned??? Horny buggers they must be!

They definately look a lot happier in that tank too. Congrats Slojo, and it was a pleasure meeting you.

Keep us updated on the spawn!

 

Update.All the eggs where eaten the following morning.
Seven days later a new batch of eggs.
Removed those and put it into another tank with tiny critters.
Most eggs were infertile.
Have two very healthy fry that are about a week old now.

 

Hi Slojo,

Glad they still "at it". You may possibly find that you only have 2 survivors because you removed the eggs from the parents. I noticed when I did that it also happened. Not because the eggs weren't fertilized, but because the eggs didn't have the parents continually fanning the eggs and protecting them from desease and fungus.

 

Thanx for the heads up here.
Glad you mentioned it,i was thinking the same thing but the eggs turning white threw me off a bit.:idea:

 

Slojo, your last post was between 3 and 4 am, don't you sleep? :blink1:
Or are you watching the Angels! Lol! :bigsmile:

 

Could not sleep.Lately this happens a lot.

 

New Update.
Another batch of eggs but i was ready this time with the hatching tank.
Tank Cycled,heater on,Methylene Blue in and airpump running.
Hopefully this time i can get more eggs to hatch and more than on baby to survive.
Growout tank is cycled and waiting as well as the BS hatchery.

 

And we eagerly anticipate the pictures....!

 

Will do tomorrow as i do not have a light in the Hatching tank or the growout tank.
And using the flash just overexpose the pics.(Elcheapo Camera)

 

Eggs in Hatching Tank


Mommy and Daddy watching over eggs in the Community Tank.
Left another leave with eggs with parents

 

How do you breed angelfish and what do you need to breed lots:idea:

 

Me i'm only learning.
Gert and Vee are the experts.

First wriglers appeared this morning.
Will do a 25% WC tonight.
Tomorrow it will be time to start the BS hatchery.

 

Slojo... get some Infusoria (spelling?) going in that tank as well. (Now)

 

Infusoria already in the hatching tank.
The last Angel grew super fast with the Infusoria as a first feed.

 

What's the market like for Angelfish?

 

Good question.
Might be good,but i'll give them away to TASA members.
Zoom will have first option though.

 

Thanks bud... Remember when you picked them up I still had 3 fry from them in my tank? Well I still have 2 (One disappeared) and they are about the size of a R5 coin. They are in my main community tank now with the lonely male in there... so I'm good for now.

 

I think the market is connected to your area, and the type of angels you breed.
There is a small market for "ninja turtles" aka mixed angels, but a better market for pure breds, like Leupoldi's ; Scalare, and defenately Altums!
The better/purer breeds, tend to be more difficult to breed/rear.
hope this answers your Q's
Gert.
