Breeding Angels

[chipper_222]

G'day,

How often will a breeding pair go through the egg laying etc cycle? I've got a pair at the moment that have taken control of the back third of my tank just wondering if this is something that will happen monthly, 6 monthly etc.

Tank Stats:

NH3 - 0.007ppm
NO2 - 0.020ppm
NO3 - 7.5ppm
pH - 6.7

I have a pair that lays eggs every 8 days. I have another pair that lays eggs whenever they feel like it - 30 days, 10 days, 60 days. Never can tell. I think their are not strongly paired.

Your best bet would be to PM Tolak as he's a Angelfish breeder and has been for as long as I've been on this thread and probably longer!

They will generally spawn every 7-14 days, though I've had pairs go as soon as 5 days, as well as spawn once then never again.

To reduce aggression remove the spawn.
