Angelfish Eggs

[leafs]

I've recently had a second batch of eggs and was wondering if my kh is too high to raise them. My ph is around 7 and my kh is about 12. The first batch was eaten by the parents within a few days and I'm hoping that they won't this time around. What are the chances of these eggs surviving? I really don't have the option of taking the eggs out either, unless I can find another tank.

Thanks

Yes, your kH should be about 3, pH is fine, and gH should be 7. Check this pagefor more info

Thanks for the reply. My kh is definately too high.

No Problem

Your pH & hardness have nothing to do with the eggs being eaten. Some pairs are good at parent raising, some need a few spawns for practice, some never parent raise. I've read that fish that were parent raised end up being better at parent raising.

I raise angels in hard water with a pH of 7.6 to 7.8. If you have or plan on buying a ro unit, you can adjust the hardness & pH to whatever you want. I would not advise trying to adjust the pH or hardness of tap water. You will end up with more problems than you are trying to solve.

I was just answering his first question but true
