Angelfish Spawn!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The baby Angelfish have developed eyes!!! I'm having a little trouble with my heater though. the temp of the tank is up to 86, It's been that way for 2 days. I'm trying to bring the temperature down to 82-83.
 
I got the Tempurater down to 83. Only took a couple of days....
RedDevil,
What size tank do you grow out the fry in?

RedDevil,

they are in a 20gal.. then they go into 40gal.. glad you got the temp down to where it should be..
 
Good! Let's see they hatched on sunday. 2-3 days from now before they are free swiming? I'm going to the petstore in the next couple of days to get some more water conditioner and more baby fish food.
How often should I do waterchanges? 10% every day? Feed them 3 times a day, morning, when I get home from school, evening? Water change after last feeding?
Does that sound good?

I think there are probably out of the 250 eggs that were layed, there are probably 190-200 wigglers.

I moved the parents to a 20gal all to them selves. The only thing I'm worried about now is that I have a ten that they are in now. A 20 that the parents are in, and then a 55 with some tetras, another angel and a pleco. So really I have to leave the babys in the 10 until they are big enough to go to the petstore, but that would mean that some of them could get stunted...

Any Ideas? Other than another tank?
 
Hmmm, defo on another tank. Around half of them would get stunted until they are big enough. Or they could all die. You could prevent that from having superb water filtration.
 
I just don't know what to do. I would love to get everything out of the 55 as it is just tetras and grow the babys out in there. Send the Pleco and the lone Angelfish to a new home.
 
What do you guys think about the feeding/waterchange schedule I posted earlier?
