what can i put in with my angelfish pair so they won't eat there eggs?
 
what kind of angelfish would my angel make they r a male altum angelfish and a female gold angelfish?
 
They probably are eating there eggs because they are stressed out.

You could put some Black Neon Tetras in with them. Thats what I have.

My Zebra and gold had ones that looked all zebra with the top half yellowish color.
 
Are the angels eating their own eggs, or are you asking what tankmates wouldn't eat the angels' eggs?
 
i am asking will the angelfish eat there egg with out tankmates? and they haven't had eggs yet.
 
Oh, well there's always a chance that they will. With captive bred angels (most likely they are, unless you know they're wild-caught), the parenting skills have sort of been bred out of them by the selective breeding the species has gone through in order to produce the most sellable (is that a word? LOL) fish. See, they've had breeders choosing males and females they want to breed and rearing the fry themselves for so long that the traits which would have carried over in the wild, producing stronger and better parents, has sort of evolved out. So, in the even that they do lay eggs, you'll probably have to remove the fry and rear them yourself.

Tankmates aren't going to help the situation, and you may have a pair who can figure out what to do on their own, but that remains to be seen!
 
ok thanks. they r pecking at a piece of slate and they are staying there buy it does that mean that they will spawn soon?
 
Yep it definitely sounds like they're ready to start. Mine always start cleaning the leaf about two or three days before they lay eggs.
