Here is a quick update: The Angel fish are now about a week old and are all swimming freely, about 200 of them. I didn't start feeding them but will buy some food for them today. Since they all left the incubator and swimming around all over the tank, the parents are extremely busy attacking...

Hi all -- I have a planted 29 gallon tank and a pair of breeding Angel fish. After they laid their eggs, I secured the leave with the eggs by a tank divider. All fish are on the other side. Today is day 3 and of the hundreds of eggs, a dozen wigglers or so have made it! They are still stuck to...

Hi all -- my Angel fish just spawned, and all the other fish in the tank are attacking and trying to eat the eggs -- even though the two Angel fish are defending the eggs like crazy. Last time they spawned, all (approx. 400) eggs were eaten within a few hours. This time there were about 100...

Do you think I have heavy stocking?

Hi all -- I have had this 29g setup for over a year now and I was wondering if I should make some changes. More fish? More plants?? Shall I cover all the gravel with grass/moss?? I have a little hair algea problem, but decided not to bother as it doesn't seem to be doing any harm (or does it?)...

That's an American Pond Weed I found in the pond of my sister in law. Grows like crazy and I need to trip it weekly. The guaramis love it and they keep building nests under the leaves.

Awesome tank & fish! Congrats!

Only the three biggest fish are trying to jump outa water, the two angel and one algae eater. I guess it could be a lack of airation.

Really?? My 29g tank seems to be fine for the angle fish. They have been healthy for over two years now and are even spawning.

Stats seem to be fine: NO2 = 0 NH3 = 0 PH = 7.6 29 gallon tank with live plants, 2 angel fish, 2 guaramis, 2 algae eater, 10 neon tetras, about 8 zebras. Fish are all older than 2 years (none died during this 2 year period when I had this setup), and the angel fish recently spawed (although...

Hi all -- what does it mean when fish start racing to the surface and jump out of the water? Not enough oxygen to breath ... or are they just having fun??

Great article which answered almost all my questions. One question remains: White eggs mean un-fertilized eggs, right? If so, mine are not fertilized.

Hi there! I just noticed that my Angel Fish pair is having eggs and they are protecting them like crazy. What do I need to do now? Separate the fish (all? Even the Angel Fish) from the eggs? Anything else I needed to be aware of? Sorry, but I am totally new to fish having eggs (first time in...

That's interesting! I have Co2 with 1 bubble per second, but it doesn't seem to bother the algae.

Thanks, I'll try the "siesta" and 3-day blackout (poor fish!)
