Angelfish Spawn!

[Destroyer551]

Dude I really don't know lol, I'm gonna have to get advice from you as I'm heading to the pet store to get a few angels in hopes of them forming a pair. I'm thinking of getting 3-4. Is that enough? I don't have much cash on me atm...

congrats on the wigglers. Hey, ours hatched almost at the same time! If you don't mind me asking what do you to with your baby angelfish? do you sell them?

i grow them out for awhile and then keep the ones i favor the most .. then i sell the rest.. angels are always sought after..

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?

you definitly need a bigger tank to grow out all those babies.. and you don't want to sell them to the store until they have some size.. if they are good and healthy the pet store will be thrilled.. and pay accordingly.. but in order for them to survive they need time and space to grow..

There are 5-6 free swimmers today! I have know idea what to do about a bigger tank. I can't get one as I have to money, my parents would freak if I got another one anyways. I could take everything out of the 55. Is that 2 big for all of those babys? Maybe let the babys get a little bigger. Does the water change/feeding schedule sound ok?

If I worked really hard maybe I could get a small tank. 20-29gal. But for sure it would have to be after christmas.

Thanks for answering all of the questions.

Destroyer551 I would get 5-6. You have a better chance of getting a pair or more, that way. But get what you can.

that sounds good ... if you make money selling some angels your parents will understand.. i think everything will be okay until after xmas

sorry, but By "That sounds good" did you mean keeping the babys in the 10, then moving them to the 55 when they are bigger, or keeping them in the 10 until xmas and see if I can get a bigger tank? Sorry I got a little confused.
I see the dad cleaning a terrocatta pot agian, here we go.

how many babies? I think it is going to rough to go that long but you may be able to get to xmas .. but how many roughly are we talking about.. you may just have to move some to the 55gal.. i quess none of this is ideal but what choice do you have..they really need alot of room and pristene water conditions to continue survival. but if you keep up with the water changes it might be okay.

I think that we are talking about 200 babies. And then any babys that the parents have from now on.

I hope you can find at least a 20 gal soon.. but your doing the best you can..
