So I'm gonna try breeding Angelfish. AGAIN!!
I had a fascination a few years back about breeding Angelfish. So I read a few google results and then decided to go buy 4 Angels. I ended up putting them in the tank in my room (only eight gallons) and they soon out grew it. When they got too big I moved them too my 30 gallon (I know still not big enough but that's all I got). After I few months I noticed breeding behavior and acted accordingly(They were cleaning an area on my internal filter).
I moved all the other fish into other tanks and switched to a box filter. I wanted to let the parents raise them so I left them with the eggs. Everything went well for the first couple of days up until they were free swimming. No the parents were not eating them. After 3 days all of the few hundred larvae were gone without a trace.
This happened for about 3 or 4 times. Then my female died. It looked they got some genital disease. There privates were hanging out all the time and looked like tenticals.
So now a few years on I'm going to try the whole thing again. Got 4 new very beautiful Angels and they were in my room again. I have already moved them to the 30 gallon I'm hoping they will form a breeding pair again.
P.S. (Does anyone know what I could have done wrong and what was up with the privates??)
