angelfish breeding

[stl2pab]

I bought a group of angels earlier this year and have been growing them out, hoping to get a pair, but lately I've been too busy to pay much attention to them. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find eggs this morning. I'm hoping some of the eggs will hatch, but I doubt I'll really get to raise any until I put the pair in their own breeding tank.
One question though. I've heard that sometimes 2 females will lay eggs together. Does anyone know how long until the unfertilized eggs get fungus and die. I know mine have been there for at least a day, maybe more. . . . I just wondered if I could be sure I have a pair even if the eggs get eaten before they hatch.

You can tell if they're duds about a day and a half in. They'll all be white. Female x Female spawns are quite frequent, but you'd have a higher chance of spawning male x female.

Can you guys create a step by step set-up for creating the perfect way to make these guys breed? It'll be well appreciated

well, first you do a water change and get the tank nice and clean.

then, light a few candles and put "Best of Sade" on the cd player. make sure the speakers point directly at the tank. sprinkle rose petals (organic, of course) on top of the water. turn off the lights on your way out.

I must have some freaks in my tank. They laid the 3rd batch a couple days ago with the lights on while Madball was playin. . . . .
in all seriousness though I got a breeding tank gettin setup & they've been spawning every 3rd week, so hopefully I'll get some flicks of the fry up in about a month.
