Beautiful videos and photographs! Angelfish are one of my favorite tropical fish to have in a freshwater aquarium. When I had a freshwater tank, one time I was fortunate to have a pair of striped angelfish breed. The female laid eggs on the long, decorative stick that went from the bottom of the tank to 3/4 of the way up in a 30-gallon hexagon tank they called home. The male then dutifully fertilized each of the eggs on the branch.
I don't remember exactly how many days it took for the eggs to hatch (3-4) but they finally did and I was thrilled to be a "grandmother" to the magnificent egg-layers after decades of having angel fish. Once the eggs hatched and the babies started swimming, the parents kept gathering them in their mouths and placing the babies back on the branch. At some unknown point the first-time parents experienced cannibalistic behavior and ate all of the babies. Every. Single. One. I was horrified! Apparently you're supposed to separate the babies from the parents after 4-5 days. I'd suggest targeting for the low range of the separation timeframe.
Hopefully your angelfish will breed again and you'll have better luck. Keep us updated! @rynow🐠🐠💦🌿
Yes, I was also horrified when the eggs were eaten, but I will definitely try again, but in a separate tank and also remove the babies. (Hopefully before they are eaten)
You'll be ready this time! Fingers crossed it happens soon!🐠
oh! What beautiful fish, you made me remember that once some time ago, my brother had fish that here we call BETTA, these fish reproduce by eggs that they place not on leaves but on rocks or on a wall as was the case in the house pond , but on the surface. But I remember that my brother had to leave the male alone and take out the female and when the fry are born, take them out to the sea because otherwise I eat the small fish from him.
In addition, so that the fish did not get stressed, I placed some mirrors on it, this makes the fish spend the day distracted observing its image and opening its tail, with that the dance or dance that it did was beautiful because you opened its fins that were of beautiful colors .
I hope that angelfish puchos are born.
Good vibes.
Thank you for the very nice reply
I also have some Betta Fish, and I posted on them some two months ago. The video in that post is quite interesting. The link is below.
