Extra Info
Black 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. With all types
of Angelfish it is best to pair them up and put them in separate tanks
for breeding and make sure they are the only species in the tank. Black
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. Though Aquazone says
that they are easy to breed, it takes quite a while for it to finally happen.
Black Angelfish usually have to be 750+ days old to breed. You should always
remove all adult fish after the eggs are laid to prevent the parents and
other fish from eating the eggs. Unlike regular Angelfish, Black Angelfish
tent to fight with each other. To know whether this is happening or not,
see if after putting a pair together in a tank if you have trouble keeping
the heath level up of one or both of your fish. You must find a suitable
mate for each fish or else they will not breed.
