Extra Info
Angelfish tend to lay
their eggs on large leafed plants and driftwood (any type will do
I use Parawood and Tiger
Lotus in my tanks). Always have plenty of plants in the aquarium because
fish need secluded places to mate. Angelfish usually eat a lot so the water
gets dirty easily and needs to be changed regularly. Keep the filter clean
in the range of 30% - 50%. Remember a partially dirty filter helps keep
the NH3 levels down. Other than that they just need plenty of privacy.
I left mine alone for about a week and then I had seven little fry just
waiting there to be fed. Though Aquazone says that they are easy to breed,
it takes quite a while for it to finally happen. Angelfish usually have
to be 750+ days old to breed. I once heard that parent Angelfish heard
their young around and when they start to ignore their fry, they are ready
to mate again. I don't know if this is true or not but I do know that Angelfish
might eat their eggs so it is a good idea, like all species, to remove
all the adults until hatching.
