:X I did a water change in my 15usg this morning, as I do every week and thought no more of it. Currently it is home to it's regular residents of 4 tetras, 6 harlequins & my remaining golden zebra danio. It also has a temporary resident in the shape of my larger angel fish. I had to remove her from her home in the 55g when she started killing full grown platies. :grr:
This afternoon I went into my room, where the tank is, to pick up my savalon for a tattoo I had done on Saturday and noticed something rather strange all over the extra internal filter I added to the tank some while back. It's only a tiny filter, the kind you might use for a good sized betta tank. The white things looked remarkably like little oval eggs. To my astonishment she continued to lay more onto the filter as I watched! I've left her to it! She doesn't have a mate, mores the pity and the last time I put her in with the other angel they immediatly started to fight. I had assumed they were both male. :blush: Anyone got any suggestions what I should do? Obviously the eggs are unfertilised and I actually feel quite sorry for her. :wub:

she'll probably end up eating them all, as they will obviously become infertile. so there's not much you can do.

:good:
 
^Well I know that. :lol: She's still laying a few even now and fanning them too. Bless. :wub: I'd like to find a mate for her but wouldn't have a clue how to go about it. In the past she's had a tendancy to attack any other angel that gets near her. :/ Being that they're not an area I've had any experience in I'd very much appreciate any advice. :)

Don't take this the wrong way, but if the angel killed full grown platies surely putting it in a tank of smaller fish isn't a good idea? Or does it just not like platies lol.
 
:lol: Ah yes, I must apologise for my typing. I should have pointed out that she wasn't aiming for the platies. Because all the platies, endlers and fry slept in a very large floating plant mass at nights she often bit the platies thinking them to be a platie fry (endlers, being silver as babies and indeed as full grown females!) are harder to spot then the colourful platie fry. Hence if she saw the colour poking through she'd aim for it. Being that neither my tetras or harlequins are spawning and no fry to chase she leaves them all in peace. She's not at all aggressive even towards full grown endlers and, as I'm sure you realise, they are truly little even as adults.
I do hope that clears that up. I should make myself clearer. :blush:
