Hey beast, if you're gonna divide the parents in the 55 gallon like mention above, you would have to artificially raise the frys therefore yes you would have to seperate them....now if they;re wiggling like mygiants said... Id keep them with the parents... thats a for sure fry raiser less work for you, and guaranty success!... dont mix up the frys until they;re able to fend for themselves.... at the free swimming stage, their yummy treats for your other angels, even at peasize their still yummy treats,... Id keep all the same size angelfish together, itll make your water changes a lot easier.....also, at such a young age, its usually hard to determine sex....Id say I have even had times where I thought one angelfish was a female and turns out to be a male... now also a tip I would like to suggest... instead of buying small frys to grow out...geez this will take you almost a year...... youre probably better off buying a proven pair that raises its own frys to use for practice.. it will cost you more at one time, but less over the 8 months period of you raising your frys to adulthood...just my 2 cent...

Thanks for the comment. Do you have any of your koi angel for sale.

Very beautiful to watch the angel fish just swim in a clear tank. I do that on the annual tank clean.
I'm having trouble getting my angels to breed. I have water that is at a pH of 7.4-7.6. I'm pretty meticuluous about water changes and keep the water at 78-80 degrees. They are about 8-12 months old. Am I just being impatient or do I need to us r/o water to bring down the pH?
I do nothing special to my water my ph is around like yours. If you have a group just let them pick there mates.
Seems when you don't try they will breed.

One sponge filter is ok for a 55, if u want you can put 2 one on each side. Even if you have 6 male and 6 females not all males and females pair up, u might end up with 2-4 unpaired angels. Use the 10 galons to raise the wigglers and very young fry and grow them out in the remaining 55's. If you get a fry raising pair put them in a 20 and let raise the fry much easier for you. I had a pair that wasn't spawning and I had 2 spawning slates in there and once I added a java fern plant there was eggs on it the next day. So u'll might have to experiment with some pairs to trigger them to spawn. Good luck and keep us updated
That is overkill. Grow the angels out in a 55 for now: when they start to pair off, you can keep them comfortably in 29 highs, or better yet split a 55 into 3 sections using plastic mesh/screen. Water quality is easier to maintain that way. Breeding slate doesn't matter, they'll lay eggs on the glass when they are ready. Sponge filter only is poor: that's only for when you have fry. You want the angels to spawn, you need frequent, massive, water changes. Otherwise use regular filtration. They will start to pair up when they are big enough-- if you spoil them with frozen worms etc... maybe as soon as 10 months. Probably at a year.

Thom: They may be a bit young still; in my experience don't sweat the pH, the water changes are much more helpful. Also, have the new water you are putting in be colder than your tank water-- maybe even 70 degrees. Supposedly that simulates the 'rainy season' or something and also stimulates the spawn.
