Inducing Angelfish Spawning?

[monkey_wrench]

Hi

Does anyone know any good ways to induce or stimulate angelfish to spawn?

They've had their breeding tubes out for like 10 days but still havnt spawned..

thanks =]

Cooler water changes, 10% daily. Live food, less commotion around the tank. Try background on 3 1/2 sides of the tank to add a bit of security. Pull any decorations towards the front open part of the glass.

done and done.

Do they like live blackworms?

thanks

Blackworms work well, as do like brine shrimp or bloodworms. What you are trying to do is imitate the rainy season after the dry season where they originate from. This means daily rainfall, and an abundance of food. Live food imitates this best.

You can also watch your barometric pressure, low pressure is usually hand in hand with rainfall. You can generally see any fronts & low pressure areas moving in on a local news website.
