Angel Troubles

[puppy_wounder]

Two of my angles have paired off and started spawning!!!! But the female has eggs that i can se in the end of the tube thing and she wont lay them. I noticed them this morning when will she lay them???!!!

 

[micko]

How big is the tank firstly? Its very possible where ever she will lay them they will be moved and moved. What else do you have in the tank?

 

[puppy_wounder]

Its a 75 us gallon. If they do lay them they will surely get eaten but i will soon have an empty 55 us gallon tank that i could put them in.

 

[puppy_wounder]

I forgot to mention that if they lay their eggs on a rock or plant i could move the eggs into a empty 10 gallon tank.

 

[puppy_wounder]

they still havent spawned yet.

 

[fluttermoth]

Try a 30 or 40% change with cold water; that stimulates spawning in a lot of species (as in the wild they often spawn when the rainy season or the floods come).

 

[puppy_wounder]

ill try right now

 

[puppy_wounder]

they havnt done it yet. How much longer

 

[fluttermoth]

Well, you can't force them into it! They'll spawn when they're ready; give them time, water changes, and plenty of live or frozen food

 

[puppy_wounder]

they get bloodworms every day along with flakes.

 

[puppy_wounder]

So i woke up this morning and... nothing. But i think they have clamded there teritory and are starting to clean a rock

 

[fluttermoth]

Blood worm shouldn't really be fed more than once a week; it's not that great nutrionally. See if your LFS sells 'variety packs' of frozen food (most do; even P@H) and feed flake and frozen on alternate days.

 

[puppy_wounder]

its mostly because off the fish i just moved out of that tank into another 75. Would 6 angles be ok in a 55.

 

[fluttermoth]

What are the dimensions of the 55g (length x width x height)? Will there be any other occupants?

 

[puppy_wounder]

now that the other fish are out ill feed bloodworms every 2 days.

48L,12W,21H maybe a clown pleco?
