Angel fish have been known to go into a stage of shock where they lay down on the bottom of a tank and look dead. Provided the water parameters are good for Angelfish (Pterophyllum sp.), if the fish is left to its own devices it will recover and settle down. If however something is wrong with the water parameters the fish will most likely die.

1 single angelfish that has laid eggs but no male to fertilize the eggs Why would she lay the eggs?

This is a common occurence. Angelfish do this a lot. She is just getting rid of an encumbrance. Two females will also get together and spawn much to the joy of their owner who then thinks he/she has a pair.


How do angelfish live do they need other fish do angelfish need gravel what kind of fish can be with angelfish?

Angelfish will fight off other fish but you can keep a Shark fish. These fish are named after the shark for their speed and powerful hit on their food,You can feed them Normal fish food. And from my experience you can have as many of both of the same fish the One tank ______________________________________ Angelfish are quite aggressive so they do very well with cherry and tiger barbs as they have a temperament just like the angel ish. Bottom feeders go well in these tanks as well, such as loaches, bristlenose, suckers, catfish etc. As the other comment states types of sharks like the rainbow and red tail and silver sharks can go with them as well. There are many types of fish that can go with angels although when buying fish don't presume they all can go with them, ask the person you buy fish off before buying. Also tetra type fish do not do well with angels as they are most likely to be attacked. It is possible for community type fish such as plattys sword tails mollies etc to go with angels, although angelfish are unpredictable as most won't attack community and some will have a nasty streak. If you do buy an angel that attacks community fish then most pet shops will allow you to return it and swap it for another.


Can clownfish live with angelfish?

Clownfish and angelfish have different habitat requirements and behaviors, making it challenging for them to coexist peacefully in the same tank. Angelfish are typically larger and more aggressive, which can lead to conflicts with the smaller and more passive clownfish. It is generally not recommended to house clownfish and angelfish together in the same aquarium.


Do angelfish eat other fish in the same tank?

Angelfish are generally peaceful fish but may eat smaller fish that can fit in their mouths, especially if they are not getting enough food. It is important to monitor the tank and ensure all fish are compatible in terms of size and behavior to prevent any aggression or predation.


When the angelfish lays the eggs and you remove them off the spot where they were laid?

When angelfish lay eggs and you need to remove them for safety or breeding purposes, gently scrape them off the surface using a flat tool, like a credit card. Be careful not to damage the eggs, and transfer them to a separate, prepared tank where water conditions are similar to the main tank. Monitor the eggs closely for signs of fungus or contamination during their incubation period.
