angels breeding in a 55

[tscharf]

so my mom just called me and told me that she has eggs on the side of her 55 gallon fish tank, uphihgh towards the top. there is a small pleco about 1.5in and 2 cory cats about 2in and 2 bumble bee cats about 2in. there are 3 angels although only 2 seem to hang out together.

i told her once the eggs hatch to siphon out the fry into a cycling 10gallon. the angels are about 5 in tall and good size, my question is will they protect the eggs from the corys and plecos and small cats?

any other advice would be appreciated.

is this a rhetorical question???

take out the pleco he will eat the eggs or the other angelfish will.

ok see what i can aske her to do, once the fry become free swimming will the pleco bother them? the parents seem to be gaurding the eggs fairly well

 

[Loves severums]

yes not the pleco the other angelfish will.

 

[dannyboiiii]

all those fish will attempt to eat the fry,
and if the pleco happens to stumble across the eggs theres a good chancee hell inhale them all!!!
same with the corys!

u could cut a 2 liter in half wash it and pin it around the eggs to keep um safe while till they hatch, then that would make spyhoning um that much easier

I would be cautious about siphoning out young. The pressure inside the siphon may be low enough to hurt the young fish. I'd try netting, or putting them in a breeder. Good luck!

Are you sure you want to raise them? It might be easiest for everyone to let them be food. You'll be at that fry tank six times a day feeding and cleaning. You up for that? 24/7?
