Ok people it looks like i have a batch of angel eggs.
http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=164077

i have nothing prepared, though i have a 12"x8x12 little tank, which i could move the eggs into.
for the record, the eggs are now two days old, as you can see the fertile ones are beginning to show. lol thats about all i know. I have read the pinned Angel breeding topic, though i don't have the tanks or space to move the fish and eggs, together.

now i never intended to breed any fish, but i am prepared to try, i would be happy for any input from the new world section!
 
Time to get a bbs hatchery together. Here's a little chart to help follow the progress;

IF THE EGGS ARE FERTILE:
Day 0: Eggs spawned in streaks, are clear or translucent.
Day 1: Some infertile eggs turn white.
Day 2: More eggs turn white, wiggling tails emerge from clear eggs. Some white eggs may get fuzzy.
Day 3: Tadpole shape forms with large yolk sack, fry remain stuck to the slate.
Day 4: Small eyes form.
Day 5: Eyes grow large, yolk sack shrinks. Start brine shrimp hatchery.
Day 6: Some fry are free swimming.
Day 7: All free swimming, time to start feeding.

ok first thanks for the post, second, Err what is bbs? i have a little plastic fry tank thing that has a net for when the fry are small, any good?
 
bbs= baby brine shrimp. They need live food, for at least the first couple of weeks. Don't even think crushed flakes or liquifry, it won't work. Building a hatchery is easy. An empty 2 liter bottle, an air source, and a light source. The light doubles as a heater. You can find dozens of ideas, google for brine shrimp. http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/ is a good start.

Don't keep them in any sort of net, a 2.5, 5, or 10 gallon tank is used once they hatch.
