Angelfish Laid Eggs

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hello. I guess she will lay her eggs where she wants to. LOL. I wasn't planning on raising any.
Hello; I had a pair of angels spawn some years ago. They choose broad plant leaves. I made a thread about the experience on this site. If you have an extra heater the one with eggs on it can be kept in place.

My experience suggests the parents are likely to eat the eggs and/or fry at some point. I had to set up a separate grow out tank to raise fry.

One lesson learned is to keep an eye on the male for damage. The female beat up my male and eventually I was late catching on to hoe damaged he was. My pair spawned every few weeks until the male succumbed to his injuries.

Hello. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. 😀
 
Tbh I've never heard of any cichlid laying eggs on a heater.
I've had many pairs of amatitlania lay eggs on the heater. My plecos also lay on heaters. Seems to do them no harm.
 
yes it’s pretty normal. My discus and angels have laid eggs plenty of times on the heaters lol specially if they are placed up and down rather than sideways. You can get cones or other long flat surfaces. Dont be surprised if they lay on the glass of the tank either lol

You know if they fail to get little babies after a few times she will go bonkers on the male. You know it gotta be his fault even if she is laying the eggs on the heater ;)
 
Hi everyone. I thought my male Angel was in the mood with the female but I was wrong. He bullied her and she passed away. Those Angel's are nasty!!! I have one Angel in a 72 gallon. What can I put with him?
