Loading ...Angel Fish Spawning
The female is silver and the male is black. You can see young angels from a previous spawn swimming around. I took this video in early 2001, and have some of the offspring in my aquarium today. Song is “Look at You Girl” by Chris LeDoux.

I have had a variety of community fish together with the angel fish and have never seen the angel fish act agressively, except to defend eggs. I have also never seen another fish act aggressively towards the angels.

The eggs can be seen in a close-up towards the end of the video.

Did you let the parents raise the babies? If so, was there a point where you had to take out the babies? Thanks!

Since this was (and still is) a community aquarium, the nervous parents and other fish always ate the eggs within a day. For a prior spawn, I immediately removed the whole leaf and put only the leaf in a 3 gallon aquarium with a lot of aeration and filtration. Once they were big enough, the fry went back into the main aquariums (and can be seen in the video).

I don’t think I saved the eggs in the video because I had 250 fry from the prior batch! I sold 200, gave away about 30, and have 4 large males left today (8/07).

Nice! I’ve 5 from my first batch (all that survived) This next batch I think I’m doing better, there are at least 100. Not sure how to go about selling though once that time comes. Thanks for answering!

I couldn’t find any pet stores locally that would buy them (apparently there is already a local breeder), but a store in a neighboring city bought all 200, in 50 fish increments for about a quarter apiece.

Oh gosh! talk about a price increase! lol they turn around and sell them for what $5-7 a piece? Wonder if we’d do better trying to sell them online. Thanks for the info and good luck with future babies!!!:)

My Angelfish just spawned nearly 250+ eggs on my filter, how long will it take for them to hatch, and they will be safe when hatched? The only other fish in my tank is 2 neons. Plz give me some other advice aswell, thanks!

If they are fertile (they don’t turn white from fungus after a day or so), they take about 7 days to hatch, if I remember correctly. Unless the parents have raised fry before, it is likely they will eat the eggs. If you want to save them, you should separate the eggs into their own tank.

yea this is their first time laying eggs, so i can simply seperate them by putting them in a seperate tank with the same temp?

For the best results, make sure the tank has aeration and clean water. I used a 3 gallon. Once they hatch, you will need to feed them fresh hatched brine shrimp (also egg yoke squeezed through a cloth is another good food). Both make a mess, so you will have to clean the tank after each feeding. I made a small siphon from air tubing and a toothbrush head to do the cleaning.
