Mine breed pretty regularly, but like I said, not nearly as quickly as yours have! The eggs are always gone within a couple of days, though. I think the Loaches eat them. I've never really wanted to raise the fry, so I've never worried about it. I know the parents do a lot of cleaning and fanning of the fertilized eggs when they're doing their jobs right, and I'm not sure how you'd go about replicating that. I think I've seen designs for a little machine that rolls the eggs or fry around and keeps them clean that way, but I don't remember where. You could try searching "Breeding techniques" or something on Google to see if you can find something like that. That way, you can remove the fertilized eggs before they eat them. I'd give them one or two more tries, though. Maybe they'll figure it out! Were these Angels already a breeding pair before you got them?

i got them form my lfs. :D
 
Well, I guess there's no way to know if they're just starting to spawn and maybe need a few times to get it right, or if they're just bad parents!

You don't have these guys with any tankmates, right? I'm trying to remember, but I can't!
 
Well, good luck with them! Hopefully they'll figure out at some point that they shouldn't eat their own babies!
 
yeah i know. i am sad that they did that.
 
Mine only eat their eggs when they see me. I went on vacation and came home to fry once. Then, more recently, I came home, walked over to the tank, and they both instantly devoured their eggs right in front of me. I'm very certain had I been gone another day or two, I'd have come home to wigglers again. Maybe you should try covering them so they feel more safe.
 
lol
