i have a pairing peruvian angelfish, they first spawn was 2 weeks before... and it was a perfect spawn because from hundres eggs, only 2 eggs was infertil... but it was eaten by my L330 in the night...

second spawn was 3 days before, i already move them to other tank and they spawn in a filter hose.. and this time many eggs was infertil.. i think that because the color of the hose.. so the male cant see the eggs clearly...

and i see them start eating the eggs, i think thats because they scared when i come closer... so i put the pair into a different tank.

everyday i change the water 50%, give them meth blue and acriflavin, 3 spot aerator, and take the bad eggs (fungus). but on third day, they all become white... what happen? are they die?

on second day i still can see some eggs are good, even i can see the eyes from inside the eggs.. whats wrong with my method?

can somebody pls help me?

here's the pictures..

Id try putting a piece of slate in on and angle for them to lay their eggs and maybe covering most of the tanks sides with paper or something so they dont get disturbed. I have a breeding pair of angels also but they are kept in a community tank so non of the fry ever make it past the wiggler stage. =[
 
Your over involving your self in the process dont mess so much with everything. Try adding a clay or piece if slate at an angle. Then you can remove eggs easier if you wish.
