It is possible to hatch and rear the fry without the aid of the parents. It involves the use of Methylyne Blue and air bubbles and is quite a complicated procedure. My advice is for you to let the parents do the job.

∙ 14y ago1 spawning of Angelfish can contain over 200 fry. If you don't have the facilities (several large aquaria set up, with cycled filters, and ready for occupancy) and the time to devote to water quality and rearing them, it may be better to leave the Angelfish alone and let them do their own thing without interference. Also you just may be wasting your time. Quite often two female angels will spawn in a community tank resulting in infertile eggs.

∙ 13y agoI'm guessing your angelfish laid eggs. I'm no breeder of angelfish but here are a few simple and commonalities when dealing with baby fish eggs
Keep the water as clean as possible but be careful not to allow huge temperature changes or PH changes. This will help prevent Fungus from killing the eggs and give them the best environment to hatch into.
Be prepared with a proper food for the babies when they hatch and lose their egg sack. Common food is baby brine shrimp, daphnia, and powdered fish food that can be made with a mortar and pestle.
Last but certainly not least is be sure to protect the babies from being sucked into a filter intake tube. Foam over intakes is a really good idea but even better is to establish a sponge filter using Seachem Stability and use that in a breeding tank in the future.
Good luck and happy baby hatching

Can you put an angelfish and a betta fish in the same tank?
No...betta fish are usually aggressive and might kill the angelfish.
Three angelfish and nine goldfish in a fish tank if you scoop out one fish at random the probability it will be a angelfish?
1/4
Do angelfish have brains?
Angelfish are clever fish, from my experiences if you put your finger up top of the tank they will follow it.
Is freshwater algae that grows inside a fish tank harmful to angelfish?
It is not harmful. But if you want to clean up the algae in the tank you want to get a pleco. They are very peaceful fish and will not harm angelfish. I have a pleco and three angelfish in my 35 gallon tank right now and they get along great!
Do you need to put your angelfish eggs in Another tank?
yes otherwise they will eat eachother
Can you keep tetras and guppies with dwarf angelfish?
Yes. Tetras, guppies and angelfish can coexist in one fish tank. Keep in mind that Angel fish will get territorial when they are mating.
You have two angelfish they seem to fight all the time?
Angelfish are very aggressive fish. They are also very territorial. They want their own space and the whole tank if they can have it. I'd suggest that if you have a small 3 to 5 gallon tank you get a bigger tank as that size tank is too small for Angelfish.
How do you stop your angelfish from ramming other fish?
you cannot. an angelfish is sometimes very aggressive and territorial. Maybe your tank is too small.
What do you do if your discuss fish laid eggs?
get the eggs out and put them in a separate tank because the fish will eat the eggs.
If there no weed in your fish-tank were do the eggs go?
they just settle at the bottom of fish tank
Can you put a fighting fish with a angelfish in the same tank?
That will likely cause very few problems.
Do angelfish lay eggs?
If the fish are in a (mixed) community tank there is not much you can do. Two females will sometimes spawn together but if the eggs are still translucent (not white) after 36hrs the eggs have been fertilised so you do have a "m/f pair". Angelfish often eat their eggs the first few spawnings. If you want to rear some young naturally you will have to give the fish their own accommodation (at least 30gal tank). The eggs can also be raised artificially away from the parents. It involves the use of methelyne blue to stop the eggs from fungusing, and an air stone to keep a gentle water flow over the eggs. HTHAngels First and foremost- rejoice because you stumbled upon a mating pair of angels. :D If their already laid in a community tank as stated above, it is a little out of your hands. In my experience however, my angels guarded their eggs. It is common for the angelfish to eat their eggs the first few rounds, but after these attitudes might change and the pair begin to guard their eggs instead. It's fascinating. Enjoy and good luck!
