Hi, my tank at work is stocked with 5 very large adult angel fish, two being a pair. Last week I removed wrigglers from the parents into a net fry nursery until I had a sponge filter for a 16 litre tank I had. I used the water from the main tank for the 16L tank and after a few days after the fry became free swimmers I moved them to their new tank. I left some with the parents but they swam off and were eaten almost immediately as it's a large community tank.
The fry survived for just one day in their new tank and after that all but two were dead. I'm not sure where I went wrong, I cleaned the tank have correct temp and PH and minimal water flow with a sponge filter. I'm thinking perhaps I left them too long in the nursery as it started to smell and get hot?
The parents have now laid another batch of eggs and I'm wondering if I should remove them and put them in the new tank and raise them from eggs, wait until their wrigglers, or don't move them all together. I can even move most to the new tank and leave some with the parents?
Any help would be much appreciated!
