okay i noticed about a week ago two of my angels kinda guarding my cave, now i shall just let you guys know that these two fish have never fought and where bought at the same store, but i have noticed the two fish kinda i don't know its like a mini fight between the two but at the same time its like there kissing :S lmfao, i have got a video of these two doing it, and will post up shortly i have not had any problems with my angels till now, i was told about the breeding tube and i think 3 of my 4 angels look like they do have them :S especially the two i am talking about i think unless there poo has got stuck,

thank you for all help, all help will be much appreciated, i am in two minds about breeding i would love for them to breed but at same time don't if you get what i mean,

thank you

EDIT - if it matters i have noticed the colours of the angels have got allot more vivid especially the eyes more red and black more sticking between the two colours, they also seem very twitchy
 
keep an eye out for eggs. angels will even lay them on vertical wires from your heater or filter lol
 
i have in the video i am trying to upload as we speak it looks like there ever pecking at there reflections or cleaning the glass?
 
okay here is my video sos about the wait

ye i watched both parts about an hour ago was very gd thnx :) i do have a quarantine tank so if need be i can separate the pair and get them breeding in there :D if they do
 
Congratulations :good: it looks like they've paired up to me. With 6? angels it is very likely for this to happen. Leave them to lay some eggs first, before separating, just to make sure it's not aggression (although I highly doubt it is).

This is what my male/female pair did (and still do). Once they've laid eggs you can separate them off into a different tank, just make sure it's the same size (or larger) than the one suggested in the Breeding video.

If planning to breed them I suggest putting an Amazon Sword (real or fake) in (with another rock/discus cone), this is the only thing my angels ever lay eggs on - they clean wood but never spawn on it.

okay thank you i hope so :), well this morning all my torpedos are dead it dose look like they have been attacked at some point but i am no expert i have a topic up in general discussion but could angel fish attack sleeping fish if they get close? they seem fine with cory's but i did see them push my plec out of a cave yesterday?
 
okay i can confirm that my angels have the tubes out :), still no eggs and there still lip locking i think the term is called, I'm doing a water change tomo and going to put the slate ontop of the big cave on the side to encourage a spot :), how long roughly dose it take for angels to breed, if they have paired when you see there breeding tubes?
