You were doing something right.You made the water conditions just right for your Angels to spawn.Congratulations on a good job.I have had plenty of Angels spawn.Being as this is their first time dont get discouraged if things dont work out.Sometimes it takes a few times before they get it right.They might eat their own eggs,sometimes the pleco will get to the eggs.If they protect the eggs they will hatch in 3 days.Then they might move the wigglers(thats what they look like) from place to place.In another 5 days the fry will become free swimming.If it doesn't work out this time dont worry,they will lay eggs again in around 2 weeks.Its best to keep a mated pair by themselves but if you dont have the room you just have to make the best of it.

new update they ate the first batch ,was sad but happy again there spawning again in 2 weeks , it nice to see this and all i do is give them ro/di water nothing else besides feeding them , change water 1 time a week 5 gallons at a time in the 55 gallon tank.if they eat them again what can i do next time they spawn, to keep the eggs and try for myself?what do i need ? to help them not to eat them
