my angelfish started breeding last week or something and they ate all their eggs i read up on this and used the forum to find out about it and apparently thats natural for them to do that. so i want to breed them and i have put them in a tank on their own with two bits of slate leaning on the side of the glass. they just try to hide when the light is on and then when i turn the light off at night the males stripes get darker and starts to bite her im assuming this is them wanting to breed?
thanks |

What size tank have you placed them in? What kind of lighting are you using? Do you have the tank in a high traffic area of the house? The constant movement around the tank will cause them to hide as well.
