I have a pair of angelfish that are spawning. the only problem is i think they are both female. is this possible? have any of you guys experienced this at all? thanks! id like to know as soon as possible because if these eggs are fertile id like to artificially hatch them. thanks!

It is quite common with cichlids, angelfish included. If no male ( or no suitable male) is present two females may try to spawn. The eggs will die if they are both females. I'm not sure if you have two females though.

do you think i should try to artificially hatch them still or just leave them in the original tank? I purchased them as a pair lol

Leave them. If they are both females they will not hatch no matter what. If they are a pair they will care for the fry.
