they keep their eggs/fry together as they grow, keeping an eye on them and defending them from other fish
Some angelfish do eat their own babies. Many do care and parent their young. The ones that eat them usually do it because of not knowing how to parent or getting bored with the babies. Many angelfish also eat the eggs that were not fertilized.
Fish
Angelfish usually dart away from trouble, but if protecting young, they nip at opposing fish.
Angelfish protect their young by exhibiting strong parental behaviors, including guarding the eggs and fry from potential predators. They often choose secluded spawning sites and will aggressively defend their territory. Once the eggs hatch, angelfish continue to care for the fry by guiding them to safe areas and providing protection until they are capable of independent survival. This attentive caregiving is crucial for increasing the survival rate of their offspring.
Almost everything from their shape to their behaviour in a shoal, to the way the parent fish choose their partners and then breed and look after their young. Angelfish are truly amazing creatures.
They might. The normal life span of an angelfish is 10-15 years. So it mostly depends on how well you take care of it. :-) hope I helped.
Yes they can, but with care, they are territorial. I have two of them and they have bitten the fins of other fish.
They protect them while they are eggs but may eat them once they hatch
they care for their young.
they dont care for young
No it is not, as you can see, the queen angelfish is much more colourful. The angelfish is just black and white. Except for the male, it is colourful but not as colourful as the queen angelfish.
There are not many fish that are compatible with Angelfish. Only Angelfish are truly compatible with Angelfish.
