My first Angel spawn in community tank

[Laticauda]

That's the first place my angels laid their eggs too, until I rearranged them so they didn't have access to a filter intake. Now they use java fern leaves. They tried to use the hygro leaves, but they were too flimsy, and the angels didn't like that.

Congrats. If it were me, I would put the eggs in the ten gallon with water from the parent tank and an air stone rolling over the eggs. If you see any fungus develop, add methylene blue to the water until they are free swimming, when you can add carbon to remove the methylene blue (also with a 50% water change using parent's tank water.) The methylene blue will kill any filter bacteria, that's why it's so important to remove it.

I hope they tend to them appropriately, so you won't have have to artificially incubate them!

The Angelfish in the second to last pic on the left as an AMAZING fin pattern on the top fin.

that's the daddy, i like it too.

so what happen if i don't move eggs and let parents' cares?

Well, one of two things will happen.

1) They will tend the babies, and raise them/protect them until they are free swimming.

2) They will eat the eggs before they even hatch: I believe this is most likely since it is a domesticated form of the angelfish. It's just speculative, but from my understanding, people have been pulling the eggs and incubating them for so long, that the angels have "forgotten" how to parent the babies. It'll be nice to see if yours raise the eggs or not

day 1:

there are some white eggs and i decided let parents in there. let see what happen.

If they eat them, and you later decide to artificially incubate the eggs, buy some methylene blue. This will help prevent the spread of the fungus (white, unfertilized eggs) spreading to your viable/fertilized eggs. Keep an air stone rolling over the eggs until they are all hatched.

At that point, you will want to do a 50% water change using water from the parent's tank, and add a carbon filter on the tank. I used a whisper in-tank filter, and took some panty hose (clean, of course) cut some off, and pulled it over the bottom of the filter, and attached the top of the panty hose to the top of the filter, to prevent babies from being sucked up. It should take about 24 hours for most all of the methylene blue to be removed, then you will want to add a cycled sponge filter (or two) if you have them, if you don't have cycled sponge filters, then you will need to do frequent water changes so the water doesn't damage the very young fry. You won't need to feed the babies for ~24-48 hours after they hatch, since they will still be living on their yolk sac for this time, and adding food will just foul your water faster.

oh no, i checked on them again this morning, there is no more eggs . all the works for nothing, but just for now. I have to wait for another weeks and try your way Laticauda.
