Picked this pair up from lfs around a month ago for £30.
Tried to put them in my main 6ft tank, but soon discovered that the Angel I had in there was a very territorial male!
Moved them to their own tank, fed them up on frozen bloodworm and sure enough, they spawned within a week.....

Within a couple of days, they eggs were hatching and showin' their wrigglin' tails...
The parents then gave us a show by moving them from the filter onto the spawning slate...great to watch.

great job to anyone who can create an environment in captivity that will convince creatures as finicky as fish, to spawn.

Came home today and found all the fry in the bottom tank free swimming - there's loads of 'em! - and a fresh spawning in the top tank!
I'm gonna need some more tankspace at this rate!

These were taken a few days ago...

Fry are comin' on strong - plenty of newly hatched baby brine shrimp - lots of little full pink bellies!

Got some new pics of most recent spawning.

They ate the eggs again the next day, but I'm not fussed as I've got my hands full with the fry from the previous spawn.

Found out that fry are a nightmare to try and photograph....

yeah, I tried to photograph my angel fish babies. What is the Ph of your tank, and what is the tank size? Tank Temp?

I've learned that putting a car wash sponge over the intake of you filter helps to keep the fry form getting sucked into the filter, if that helps.
