Koi Angels

[mr limpet]

I have 12 half dollar to silver dollar body size Koi Angels in my 90 gallon tank(pic is in my avatar). Have had them for 6 months now. No sign of any breeding going on. No pairing either. I have a Fluval FX5 and 2 Aqua Clear 110s filtering it. Temperature is at 82 and I do 2 50% water changes each week. PH around 7.4. I feed them Kens Angelfish flakes,freeze dried brine shrimp and occasionally some frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms.Any suggestions on triggering these guys to spawn(other than listening to some Barry White music)?

Seems like you're doing everything right. Maybe just a little more time is all you need. A pair should form soon.

I guess good things come to those who wait.

They are kinda young for breeding. Wait another 6 months to a year :>

To young when I was breeding the angels I didn’t see any action till around 10 months to a year. I would put long slate slabs in there and they’ll lay on that the truck isn’t getting the eggs it’s figuring out who they came from lol

Got eggs. Removed other Angels from tank. All eggs eaten. Now I have a 90 gallon tank with just one pair of Angels in it. How long till they lay again? And will I have any issues with Bio Bacteria?

Btw they were about 5 months old when I first got them.

Got eggs again. Exactly 7 days from first spawn. The pair seems more relaxed being the only ones in the tank. Hopefully they won’t eat the eggs this time.

Fish sometimes eat eggs when stressed,don't worry to much once they get comfortable they'll stop eating eggs, the hardest part is actually raising the fry.

I have frozen baby brine shrimp ready to feed fry once the become free swimming. Looks like there’s only about 30 fry. They should be free swimming today. It’s been 5 days since they hatched. Btw they are still with the parents too.
