Yesterday I was looking at my angelfish. I saw white poo hanging off of "blackie" I freaked and thought...parasites ack! Ran to LFS to get some Metronidazole to mix with their bloodworms. When I got back I was tempted to feed them early but decided to feed them at their usual time. Blackies poo was now a pink color. When it was time to feed them I went up to the glass and Blackie wasn't responding to me. I'm thinking he must be really sick now. Then I noticed...eggs! Blackie is a she! She layed them on the corner of the glass in the tank.

In the picture its hard to see Blackie because of the black background.

The marbled angle in the picture must be the male. I think he was clueless on what he should of been doing. Mommy was eating the eggs as she was laying them. I dont think i'll have a chance at fry. They are not even 1 year old. Another reason I think the marbled is the daddy is...Those 2 angles beat the snot out of my other angel last week and a divider had to be put up.
 
Guess I should of stayed awake then. This happened at bed time. When I woke up there was only a 10th of the eggs left. They were busy eating them.
Today there are no eggs left.
