Angel Fish Eggs

[holly99]

I have some Angel fish that have laid eggs in the tank and I am not sure how to take care of them or what to look for if they are healthy or not. Some look white, some look like thsy have fuzzy stuff on them and when holding a magnifing glass to the tank you can see little like spermy things in the eggs. I need help obviously, my husband has passed away in june and had a 45 gallon and a 55 gallon freshwater tanks with angels, ornate bichers, jank dempsies and other eels and fancy ****. I am doing the best I can to take care of his fish but sometimes I just don't get it. Any help is appreciated for the dumb widdow
Thanks
Holly

My condolences. to MFK.

For the eggs, it sounds like they will not survive, as the swimming things are worms, the fuzz is fungal, and the white are dead eggs. There are two methods that you can follow for angels. One is much more difficult, but often result in higher survival rates. This is to remove the eggs from the parents tank, and place them in a seperate tank that is cycled, with anti fungal, and anti bacterial measures in place. Method two will be easier on you, but will yield fewer fry. This is to let the parents raise the eggs.

As you will not want the hussle and bussle of rasing the fry I presume, all 400+ of them, why not let the angels take care of the eggs and they could survive on thier own. Probably will anyway.
