As one angelfish dies, another one is laying eggs ?

I'm unsure what to do so i veeeerrrryyy carefully transferred a few to another tank to see if i can hatch them. I left most of it in the tank with the parents since i read that the parents will either defend or eat them but it will be a learning experience for them. Either way wish me luck and thank god my silver arowana is very docile

If you can partition the tank to keep other fish away and get a foam sleeve over your filter intake that will help. Keep the parents fed.
I am no expert, just similar surprises from a nice pair of angels. There was a black ghost knife in that tank and they never made it past day 3 or 4. They got better at parenting over 7 or 8 tries.
Enjoy the miracle!

If you have another tank ready with sponge filter you can fill it with water from the main tank. Should be kept same temperature and ph values as the tank they were laid in.
Then transfer the eggs or wrigglers by siphoning them out into a container with a section of air line tubing.
You should also invest in hatching brine shrimp if you haven’t already.
Should start feeding brine shrimp as soon as the fry become free swimming.
Newly hatched brine shrimp will improve the survival rate tremendously.

Good luck and congrats
