Alright....could my female Angel be.....

[silver]

I'm not sure how female Angels house their eggs, but do they hold them in for a while and get kind of fat?? I ask this because, as a few of you may already know, but my 2 Angels have been hiding out on their own end of the tank.......I have always assumed one was male and one was female because of the size difference....anyhow, I believe they have been getting frisky . This evening, while riding my exercise bike ) and googling over my fish to pass the time, I noticed my female Angel is a little buldgey in her abdomen......does this mean eggs....could she be getting dropsey......is she just wierd!!!!





Could I be.....a..............GRANDMA!!!!

Silver, I'm not an angel expert (by any stretch of the imagination), but I do have 3 of them...

I think the female angels belly might get a slight bit pudgy when she is ready to breed with her mate... but, the real way to tell is she will develop a breeding tube. It'll sort of look like a mini upside down volcano on her underside. The male will also develop a breeding tube which will be smaller and more narrow than the females.

Also, they will do a lot of cleaning off of their desired breeding location....

HTH!

 

[silver]

Hmmmmmm, I'm gonna go look!!!

Do they develop these weeks before laying eggs, days....hours!!???

Anybody know ??

 

[Cali]

Weeks (maybe)... Days (more likely)

Hi Silver, when my Angels spawned the first i noticed was that one day they kept pecking at a filter intake tube.....later that evening I noticed their tubes below their abdomens, and the female started to lay eggs!! Unfortunatley they ate the eggs after a day but gives you an idea I suppose?

I guess it varies between different fish as to when they're ready etc, but the cleaning of a site is the main starting signal i guess

good luck grandma!!

[silver]

Ya.....no kidding......I need luck right now!!

I don't see any tube so I'll just keep my eye outt!


Thanks,
