I've never raised fry before so I really don't have any experience. I noticed about a week ago, my angels had laid eggs but by the time I noticed them they were already wrigglers. Overnight over half of them had disappeared so I decided to cut the leaf off and move the wrigglers into a separate 10 gallon tank.
 
I have been doing small water changes daily on the 10 gallon it is heated and has a filter with a very slow current. I also took plants from my main tank and put them in the fry tank for cover at the top.
 
Right now they are about a week old, maybe older and are free swimming. I think I may have 15-20 but it is hard to tell because I added so many plants.
 
They seem to be doing okay and I have been feeding them frozen baby brine shrimp from a dropper, I think they have been eating.
 
Any advice? Is there an age where I am in the clear and don't have to worry about the current killing them? haha.

Sounds to me like you are doing everything right actually you've passed the hardest part which is getting angels to breed anyways as for the current it's kinda hard to say without actually seeing your set up but just use good judgment if the fry are having trouble swimming around then cut off some of the flow by putting a sponge on the filter intake actually you should put a sponge on there anyways so they can't get sucked up other then that just have fun watching them grow and make sure to feed them several times a day if posable :)

Thanks! Yeah right now the current is very slow and I have a sponge in there to slow it down even more and covered the intake with pant hose so they won't get sucked up.
I can't wait until they get bigger! haha
 
We'll make sure to get some pics of them as they grow :)
