Angels Still In Bag From Lfs

[king72]

I have a pair of cons that have been showing signs of love but nothing has happened for weeks. I went out tomy LFS for a nose and spotted 2 beautiful 2 inch long angels and thought i'd give them ago. got home put the bag in the tank to aclimatise them and low and behold hundreds of eggs on the side of the filter..

should i risk it with the angels. its a 30g tank and the end that the cons arn'tin has pleanty of plants that reach the top of the tank, good hiding areas.

advice please

ok,it maybe the wrong thing but i have put the angels in with the cons, too hot to leave them in the bag.

no choice, bad idea, couldnt have predicted the eggs

Take the angels back, the cons can easily kill them.

Ah ha! I see a nasty case of MTS about to take hold...Do you have a friend who could fish sit for a while till you can get another tank up and running?? Give your Angels a brand new pad all of their owns, and let your cons breed in peace, withou tthe added distraction of Live Lunch *g*

Cheers and Beers

This is a perfect example of why anyone keeping cichlids should have a divider handy. Buy or build one, breeding cons will rip up angels like nothing.
