Teh problem is that i think they feel threatened, they are eating the eggs.

The black angelfish is a female, while the white one is male, they black one is eating the egss and the white one is beatin her up, should i separate them? they eggs are very white.

Should i let them raise the fish or should i? My brother wont beleive angelfish raises the babies, hes used to raisin guppies, and we all know guppies eat their babies.

I checked the eggs again, there is 2 white ones, the other are transparent, they stopped eating the eggs :/

Should i have a bare bottom tank to raise the babies? cuase i have gravel right now.

I do realize i need a place to give the fishes to, like a lfs
 
To raise them properly you will need to give them ther own tank. They arnt the best of parents in my eperince so moving the eggs and raising them yourself is the best way to get larger survival rates of fry.

The white eggs are not good and need to ideally gotten rid of. The parents should do this.

If the fish is looking tired and beaten up seperate them but doing so means the bond with eggs will more than likely go and will get abadoned.

Good luck :good:
 
Can i just let nature do it's thing and not separate them? i dont even want that many angelfish anyway.

maybe the angelfish were eating the white eggs..i dunno.

How many times do they lay eggs in a month? this is their first batch so i dont have any hope for them. I should remove the gravel for easier cleaning, correct?

EDIT:Ok this is whats happenin The white angel is defending the eggs, while the black one tries to come and help. But when the white one sees her, he chases her away and nips her, the black one doesn't even put up a fight, as in lip lock. The white one is not eatin the eggs at all, he probably doesnt trust the black one anymore since she was eating the eggs :p
