Nice video! What do you think of hang on back filters? Not too happy with the Top Fin hang on back filter for my new 50 gal . Water still cloudy. Checking my water intake housing to make sure it’s working properly.
Hi there! Currently there are about 5 angel fish in my tank along with 10-15 other different variety of fish(not angel fish) I saw eggs and two of the angel fish are protecting them from other… some of the eggs have even turned white.. should the other fish be moved from the tank ? Also are other angel fish a threat too for the eggs or the future wrigglers? What do I do?
Awesome I listen to your video and I’m happy to say my fry I move them because I wanted them not to get eaten by the parents. Simply amazing. I’m happy to say I succeeded, just praying they keep on growing. Thanks so very much. This is why I love TH-cam . Blessings to you for all you do! Wow I’m so excited I can’t denied it!! 💕🙏🏼💯😂😂💯🙏🏼💕
I love your videos! I just set up my first fry tank today following your suggestions and fingers crossed I'll get to see them mature to full size. You took all the scariness away from attempting this! Thank you!
Thank you for all the information. It has been more informative than anything I've seen. I have a variety of fish in my 75 gallon.A lot of albino korys as they survived on there own in the 40 gallon and my super extra large Pleco is like grandpa. Since I got the 75 gallon the angel fish are always right there to gobble up the eggs as well as 2 plates,and 3 danios that came with the tank. I bought these 2 angel fish since the move killed the 2 within the first few days. I've had these 2 angels for about 4 months and they have payed eggs on the pick up tube twice now. After 2 days I noticed a white cotton ball look to the last survivors. I am hoping that out of all those eggs, 1 or 2 will survive on their own like the kory Kat's have. This video was much more informative and it's obvious how much you love them. I love my fish like my cat or Dog. My extra large Pleco is like my dog. His name is George and he is my salon mascot @ A Heavenly Hair & Nail Salon LLC on Facebook. Thanks Again!!🤗Valarie Pilling
so i got up in the morning and went to feed my angelfish...........eggs,,eggs,,,EGGS!!! yep i kinda panicked was NOT expecting that at all seeing as they were sold as two females. drinking my coffee i started to look online as to what if any action to take and came across your channel. i'm fine with it all now ,listened to what you had experienced and your calm approach to the situation made it all ok. thank you for your info,keep up the good work and yes i subscribed and told my friends about you.
Good luck. Females can lay eggs next to each other(they get confused sometimes too), males can do that, but if you get a pair, still be prepared for some early game losses.
This was your best upload to date, at least for me. I've utterly failed at angelfish breeding in the past, and you've made it painfully obvious why. Well, since I have no shortage of angels in my fish room, hopefully, I'll be blessed with a breeding pair soon and eventually resume my experiment. Currently, my favorite angels are the double dark variety and gold albino.
hey thank you so much for your kind words. hopefully you get a breeding pair going. my pair so far have stopped laying eggs so no babies for now. but im going to be patient and see of they lay eggs in the future.
I love watching your videos. I just got started this hobby. So my tank is not great yet. I've lost 5 fish. Me not happy. I love Angels so I will not be getting any until I get my tank settled in. Love how you raised them from eggs to adults. Great job.
Hi, just want to Thankyou for your videos, they've been so helpful for me. I'm currently at the 'wiggler' stage with my angelfish..it's a fun lil journey so far😊
How are they? Good luck, all. I’m working with ~300 maybe ConvictxBlood Parrot hybrid eggs. They’re the 4th batch, they hatch on Sunday(January 11, I believe.)
Thank you so much for making these videos they have been such a huge help to me the last three days. I now have wigglers, although I have had to take the majority of the eggs away from my first time angel parents in genuinely concerned I have upset my fish, I took the eggs away today because they started eating the moving eggs and not spitting them back out, thanks x
Love your videos, because you explain everything step by step. Thanks for all you do I truly appreciate it. Now thanks to you I know what to do! Blessings too you and yours. I pray you start feeling better! 👏💕🙏🏼💯
I purchased 3 angel fish when they were in the 3-4 month old stage in 08/23. Fast forward to now, the smallest kept running one off to a corner. Then last week it got really aggressive with it, so I intervened and pulled out the bullied fish (Put it in a different tank…currently it’s roommates with my male betta and they get along just fine). No sooner than I did that, by that evening there was major commotion in my tank with the 2 angel fish. I thought they were fighting, they were locking mouths and flipping tails at each other and the larger one was biting the smaller one’s tail. I rushed to TH-cam to investigate what was happening. Turns out they paired up. Here is where I insert that the fish I removed from the tank was purchased with the female…they were in the same tank at the fish store. But she paired up with the other male that came from a different store (a Dalmatian) and he is the smaller of the 2 others. Over the course of the next couple of days both their breeding tubes showed. The commotion in the tank only happened that night and it didn’t go on for longer than about 15 minutes. She appears to have a belly that’s starting to hold eggs, so I am trying to set the right conditions, considering they share a 55gal with a bristlenose pleco, 3 corys and 1 black skirt tetra. I have a 10 gallon I am prepping for a nursery and the 35 gallon is homing the golden angel fish and male betta.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I sort of grew up with my mom having Discus and Altums. Had some Angelfish over the years and even a hatch or two, but wasn't serious about breeding. I have gotten back into it, due to other circumstances. And really enjoy the Blue Philippinos, Red Shoulder Manacapuru and Bulgarian Seal Points. I have a really young pair of RS Manacapuru's that surprised me with eggs. And a day later the Blue Philippinos as well. They are about a year and so far didn't get them to hatch. But have both of them hatch and are about 24 hour old wiggles. They are in a breeder tank, but one has a Hillstream loach I will have to remove. And the other 3 Otos. I will just see and let them try to figure it out. While I do have hobby store owners interested, I am in no rush and just want to learn and enjoy this. I may set up another 20 gallon, just for the babies, as I have for my fancy guppy babies. Thank you so much for the tips and especially for showing what the stages look like. It has been a whole for me😄👍🐟
Thanks! I just had a pair spawn and I've got wrigglers born from what I, and the store/ my friends all thought were 2 males. Oops. Anyhow, I havent intentionally bred them for 15 years and your video was a really nicely done example video of how to raise them. Thanks
Pfft. I made that mistake too. I bring home two random parrot cichlids, next hour has them pump out over 1000 eggs(I counted with a calculator.). None of them were fertile but blood was pumping through my veins, I was literally going ‘WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUC-SHEITS’ the entire time. If anybody doubts, parrot hybrids do actually lay around 600-2000 eggs, although most don’t hatch or survive.
Thank you sooo much for this video it was spot on for what I needed to know. I just last nite noticed the eggs and tonight They started wiggling. So I guess they laid the eggs earlier than I thought. I was considering removing the eggs and the breeding pair from the other fish in the tank, but decided to leave them so as not to upset them as this is their first time. And I wasn’t sure if they were eating the eggs or spitting them out. Which I see from your video that they are just doing what their supposed to. Thank you again now I know what to expect. I’ll watch the other version of the video tonite. 😘
Thank you for posting this video. I JUST found wigglers in my community tank. I did move MOST of them to a nursery. (The ones I could get) I hope that they make it. They are starting to get eyes. :-D
@@Nemesis0513 Well whatever it is‚ the next day the eggs weren't there. And there weren't any babies either. I am so worried but maybe it's a nature thing where the parent protects the eggs somehow?
@@san-qy5vs I had a similar situation where there were eggs, and some were white, some translucent, but they disappeared at some point. I actually thought the first time it was some kind of parasite and was starting to wipe them off the heater, until I decided I should look it up, and realized they were eggs.😉 I read that it could actually be two females I had, so they would never get fertilized, so I was wondering about that being a possibility, until probably a few batches later, when I saw a cloud of free swimmers. At first I was wondering what they were, as I thought they would look like tiny angelfish rather than translucent sperm with eyes. I guess it just takes a few tries for them to get the knack off it.
Thanks for a very informative video. Finally gave my breeding pair their own 29 gallon tank. Hopefully I will be a Dad again!!!! When do you recommend starting a brine shrimp culture? Do the fry foods also work?
awesome video i just got a pair after 2 years ive been breeding other species but now i have another pair i got at my LFS and i am excited to get them to breed and you gave me so much help by the way my first pair was from walmart didn't know i picked a pair but that they were staying together needless to say they breed and had over 50 fry that turned into mini angels they layed the eggs on a amazon sword leaf them moved them around the tank at the end i was left with 17 that i gave away then they died so i was surprised because i didn't try but discouraged. So im doing all my research i can i have them in a sweet setup anywho thanks for the video and letting me rant on
Good luck, you two. Wriggler stage only lasts a week, after which they start swimming and your job is slightly easier(or harder, dunno). You can leave them with the parents for up to a month and a half after hatching, when the parents need to lay again and chase the fry off. Try to get them out by the 3 week mark.
Watching this as my pair have just laid their eggs in a 75 gallon community tank. I’m getting our 39 gallon bow front set up for them today :) Got them as part of the tank along with lots of other fish and I know this first batch is probably gonna be fish food.. I’m actually treating the tank for ich right now so I’m surprised that they decided now was the time for eggs.
Hi, I have angel fry that are about 1 week or below I just noticed it today since I had removed my 2 adult angel from that tank and I was surprised to see so many fry today so happy and excited at the same time... This tank where the fry are is 1500 liters so I'm not sure how to change the water 🌊 to keep it clean? Any suggestions please?
Looking for some advice QUICK! my two largest angels have just paired off but the problem is the have laid they're first batch of eggs on the side of my internal filter. I've removed the unfertilised eggs as they are due to hatch soon would it be best for me to put the fish in a hatchery once they become free swimming???
Hi orange angels wow now seeing the adults with wigglers di they eat some or looks like spitting them back in place. Can you show us your close up females vs your males im still having trouble with that. Excellent vidio
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. I have eggs that are starting the wiggler stage, which is are 3rd attempt...we'll see if they are healthy in a few more days. Thank you again
My angelfish have recently laid their 2nd batch of fertilized eggs. 1st batch doing well but due to lack of experience have lost a lot but still have a handful left. I wasn't prepared for the 1st lot so I'm learning as I go. Was more prepared for the 2nd batch which are still wrigglers and no fungal growth on them unlike the 1st batch which I lost a third of the eggs due to fungal growth and dying after free swimming. Have separated both batches into seperate tanks. 1st batch I was feeding them boiled egg yolk for about 3 days because I couldn't get fry food as I can't get brine shrimp where I live. Now I feed them egg yolk mixed with fry powder food. Gradually weaning them off egg yolk to the powder stuff. But they are thriving.
Actually, it depends. If the glowfish was injected with the wrong bioluminescence gene or chemical, they can’t breed. However, glowfish made through genetic engineering of injecting the glowfish bioluminescence gene actually can breed and produce viable fry, but they aren’t naturally accustomed to being glow in the dark. That’s the major factor against them breeding. They CAN, they just don’t wanna. You’d need to do a surgery to extract the semen and eggs, but it’ll work.
Hi my angelfish have just laid eggs on my built in filter and was wondering should I remove mum and dad ( only them in tank ) or should I remove eggs and if so what the best way. This is the time I have had angels lay so all new to me . Any help would be much appreciated thanks Ian .
Wow once my angel fish lays her eggs if they fall off the leaves they eat them just like the the father it's been atleast 5 times ive seen them do this how can I prevent this
Define clean water please? I have a heavily planted tanks where my water nitrates are lower than the tap water. Is that good enough or do they need a mineral water
I have a 5 gallon tank and added 2 Angel fish that I think may be a male and female pair. They were the last two fish in tank at petco. I’m willing to buy a 10 gallon tank as they will inevitably grow larger if needed. In case they did mate… could I keep the fry in the same tank with them? I’m wondering why you have separated them. I’m pretty new at being an angel fish parent. 😊
Hey so what happens if you want only like 3 or 4 angels not the whole batch. Mine just laid eggs today but I’m only interested in a tasing like 3 at most. What do I do? The eggs are in a community tank thx
Yesterday my angle fish put out a lot of eggs but then when I come downstairs all the eggs that used to be where it was‚ isn't there anywhere. And before I saw live that an angle fish sucked in an egg. Why does it do this?
Infertile, maybe. They could also be moving the eggs to a new spot. If they’re eating, the gills will pump hard for a split second. Holding is more of a soft suck, followed by a hurry to another spot, then a quick set of pumps, followed by the eggs or fry tumbling from the parent’s mouth.
I just found wigglers today in my tank....we love our fish so much and this helped. I hope they live....Do you think that removing the eggs will socially harm the parents. I thought they were eating them, so I removed them. I hope they are okay.....thanks for uploading this...was great to watch!! Oh babies are safe in their own tank....let you know if they live.
Hi. It will stress them out a little bit, but they will be fine. They will forget they laid the eggs a few minutes after and lay eggs again a week later.
It will not harm the parents, because they breed every half a month. If you raise the fry with the parents, the fry will become more adept at raising their own fry, apparently. So yes, the fry get socially influenced by the presence of a parent fish.
How long does it take them to take their final color my babies are about 3 months old they have black stripes one is kinda silver looking and the other has yellow and pink tints to it. Mum is blue and dad is black do they take after the parents or could they just be random colors ?I also have a second brood of them and they are turning out the same . I have some that are only a quarter of the size of the same cluster of eggs can fish make runts are they likely to survive? They are 1 1/2 months old they still eat and stuff but don't seam to be growing at the same rate as the others
Great video, so much helpful information. I have a massive tank and two of my angels started breeding forcing me to move all there friends to another set up. Separated there forst lot and now have a good 50+ month old babies who are going great and finally looking like angelfish. So excited mum and dad on there 3rd round but second successful set of babies. Will they stop laying eggs of you keep them with there fresh fry?
If you want a more social fry batch, remove the parents when they start to develop a rudimentary color scheme(around 3 weeks to 5 weeks), but artificial is after about 30 hours to ensure that the eggs are viable. She will lay again after 1 1/2 to 5 weeks depending on the situation.
Thank you so much for this video. I noticed some eggs on my tank the other day and had no idea what was going on. I found your video after I thought my fish eggs were dead. Good to know they are still alive. What can I do with the hundreds of fish after they hatch? I’m not a fish breeder just have a tank I love to watch.
@@Nemesis0513 is that always the case or is it dependent on the parent's characteristics? The ones I have are morsel sized now, so if they eat them I would think they would have already.
@@wingerrrrrrrrr I’ve seen some cichlid parents care for their fry upward of two months, but domesticated fish usually aren’t as good at parenting due to separation from their parents. While some parents may be good to their young, others will tear them apart. Mine were shitty parents, I’ve seen lots of shitty parenting from cichlids, but I’ve currently got a pair of convict... hybrids, I guess? sitting on some fry, they herd them around the tank and chase of other fish. So... some are good parents. Others, not so much.
It’s been a week and the eggs r still white. This is their second attempt. What’s going on ? I have an Ehime filter. Do I still need to change water frequently ? Is the male not doing his job ? They’re very attentive parents and diligent.
i have bought 4 angels from a fish store. i would say they were about 3-4 months (quarter size) from looking at the ones you had. i put them in my 75 gallon tank with my other adult angel. anyways, all 4 of them died... and idk why.. it was like literally one after the other. my adult angel did not seem to be aggressive with them. actually quite the opposite. my water conditions are perfect according to the test strip from the store. my water temp is 79 degrees... i am not sure what i am doing wrong? I really want to raise an angel fish tank. if you dont mind giving me advice?
I had surgery just over a month ago so my tank hasn't been cleaned since just before that and last night my angel fish paired up and laid and fertilized eggs! I'm so excited, but I have other types of fish in my tank. I'm going to get a divider but my question is, once they start swimming on their own do I need to separate them from their parents as well as the other fish so they aren't eaten or will their parents not eat them?
Another Q? Just had another spawning. A few white eggs became many many more. Were these fungused, or just not fertilized? Last batch had a few wigglers, so I know that there are a M and F. Your thoughts?
Steve Finestone white eggs are caused by many things. could be water quality. could be unfertilized. a lot of factors come into play. i would try hatching them on my own.
Hi. I just found wigglers in my tank. I have 3 angel fish and i dont know the parents. One of them tried to eat the wigglers. So i separated all of them in a different tank. Will the babies grow on their own?
Livebearers have about 1-300 fry per spawn(every month or two). Their fry are born ready to survive, the parents don’t need to care. Also, the parents need to eat, and too many fry means that overpopulation is a thing. They need to remove the weak to allow the strong to have adequate resources to grow up and pass on superior genes. Tl,dr: they don’t need to care, unlike these specific types of broody fish.
Weekly change or twice a month, 10-25% water change. Try to keep the temperature even during that. Feeding is daily, just enough so that you can see every angelfish going at the food. Food should be either a squirt of live microfood or fine powder like food, which includes flakes, soft pellets, and egg yolk.
I have my first successful fry batch. Took them from the parents as freshly laid eggs n kept em in a fry net in the tank til wiggler stage. They are now in a small 1.5 gallon tank alone n have been eating for almost 2 1/2 weeks now. They are getting big quick. Been feeding hikari first bites with powdered freeze dried daphnia n blood worms mixture i make myself... Seems to be working great. Daily cleanings n water changes are a must.... Cant slack on any one thing or it could be disasterous. Any tips woyld be appreciated. Ive got a 5 gallon n a 10 gallon cycled n waiting.
I hope you don't mind me asking questions but I feel like you're an expert on angel fish so you're the best person to ask, I don't have any plant-based deco in my tank for the angel fish it's mostly just ornaments do you suggest that I get plants for them?
I just love your angels that's how I want my 75 gallon to look like and I have a good question for you on a 75 gallon fish tank that has a few plants in it they're not sharp or pokey plants except for one little tiny one I have how many angelfish can I keep in that tank if I had six Patty sunburst fishes
hi, i just watched your video on raising angel fish, i have 4 angel fish in a community 75 gallon tank. i have now seen 3 of my angels laying eggs and i am assuming my smaller silver angel is daddy. i have not been able to keep eggs past 3 or 4 days. im not sure who is eating them but i think its the male, what can i do to stop him from eating them? he appears to fertilize all 3 angles that are laying eggs, but i always catch him eating them as well. if you have any suggestions please do tell me, thank you.
The male is not paired with anyone. This species is a 1:1 breeder, meaning that there’s only one boy for every one girl. Set him into a tank with one female, and if they don’t match up, switch it up, do this for every female. Matching takes about 2 weeks to a month to complete. If he appears to breed with three girls then eat all the eggs, he’s raiding infertile batches.
Thanks for the video. My pair of angel fish is hatching their eggs for the third round now. The first round was in late March 2017; their fry swam freely for 3 days then all disappeared. Six weeks later, a new batch of fry swam freely for 2 days, then most of them disappeared except 12 survived, the day after they were all gone. Then 2 weeks later (May 31, 2017) I saw many many eggs again. Today (June 03) they are wigglers. I am sure they will soon become free-swimming fry. But I am afraid they will all disappear just like the previous two times. I already did everything I learned from the internet: keep the parents and fry separate from other fish by using the tank divider and fed the fry with baby brine shrimp. I didn't try to change water every day as suggested in one of the comments of this video (because I thought I should not change the environment when babies are in the making). Is it the only thing I should do differently this time (changing water)? My tank is 50 gal and currently there are only 7 fish + hundreds of wigglers. Any advice would greatly appreciated. *Honestly sometimes I thought I should just by some adult angel fish because it's cheaper than buying brine shrimp, the tank divider, and some other accessories for the fry. But I really wish to have some survivors this time to satisfy my hobby. Thanks for reading.
If you want to get serious, Hager them their own tank, see if the fry disappear. If not, then it was the other fish. If they still disappear, it’s the parents and the water quality.
I know this is an old video but hopefully I can get some help here. So my angelfish are laying eggs as we speak but they're laying them on the canister filter intake. What can I do to either remove them or prevent them from getting sucked up?
Cover the intake of the filter with a fine mesh object(pantyhose is apparently really good, so is some cloth fabric) or try to remove them with a toothpick or something like that. However, the parents will usually do everything by themselves. By the way, how are they?
@@Nemesis0513 they're doing good I actually removed the intake nozzle and placed it in my empty breeder tank. They're little wigglers now. Thank you a appreciate the help.
Hi, PLEASE HELP. I am so heart broken. We were so exited about our angels laying eggs. They were the perfect mommy and daddy. Until they became free swimmers. They start to eat the fry's. So we saved about 30. Googled and ask for info. Bare bottom tank, WC every 2 days. Feeding BBC. At first everything looked so normal. But then I noticed that my fry's are not swimming much. I learned about belly sliders. About 80% look like belly sliders. They are 3 weeks old now. But will not come up for food. Don't swim around. Some will move around. Mostly on the bottom. The ones that will move from the bottom only go about half way. Looks like they get tired. Please help. What can we do?
hey everyone! i made a better version of this video. you can check it out here!

Interesting video about your Angelfish life cycle Thanks
Nice video! What do you think of hang on back filters? Not too happy with the Top Fin hang on back filter for my new 50 gal . Water still cloudy. Checking my water intake housing to make sure it’s working properly.
Do you still need to keep the air stone on once they are wigglers?
Hi there! Currently there are about 5 angel fish in my tank along with 10-15 other different variety of fish(not angel fish) I saw eggs and two of the angel fish are protecting them from other… some of the eggs have even turned white.. should the other fish be moved from the tank ? Also are other angel fish a threat too for the eggs or the future wrigglers? What do I do?
Awesome I listen to your video and I’m happy to say my fry I move them because I wanted them not to get eaten by the parents. Simply amazing.

Thank you for all the information. It has been more informative than anything I've seen.
I have a variety of fish in my 75 gallon.A lot of albino korys as they survived on there own in the 40 gallon and my super extra large Pleco is like grandpa. Since I got the 75 gallon the angel fish are always right there to gobble up the eggs as well as 2 plates,and 3 danios that came with the tank. I bought these 2 angel fish since the move killed the 2 within the first few days. I've had these 2 angels for about 4 months and they have payed eggs on the pick up tube twice now. After 2 days I noticed a white cotton ball look to the last survivors. I am hoping that out of all those eggs, 1 or 2 will survive on their own like the kory Kat's have. This video was much more informative and it's obvious how much you love them. I love my fish like my cat or Dog. My extra large Pleco is like my dog. His name is George and he is my salon mascot @ A Heavenly Hair & Nail Salon LLC on Facebook. Thanks Again!!🤗Valarie Pilling
Good luck.
so i got up in the morning and went to feed my angelfish...........eggs,,eggs,,,EGGS!!! yep i kinda panicked was NOT expecting that at all seeing as they were sold as two females.
drinking my coffee i started to look online as to what if any action to take and came across your channel. i'm fine with it all now ,listened to what you had experienced and your calm approach to the situation made it all ok. thank you for your info,keep up the good work and yes i subscribed and told my friends about you.
Good luck. Females can lay eggs next to each other(they get confused sometimes too), males can do that, but if you get a pair, still be prepared for some early game losses.

This is really helpful. I just bought three new angels last week. They’re only about two inches tall but they seem pretty happy.
Awesome, just had my Angel lay her first eggs so thx for posting this vid!
Two males? That’s not good.
Hi, just want to Thankyou for your videos, they've been so helpful for me. I'm currently at the 'wiggler' stage with my angelfish..it's a fun lil journey so far😊
I got comet goldfish and they are still in the eggs
How are they? Good luck, all. I’m working with ~300 maybe ConvictxBlood Parrot hybrid eggs. They’re the 4th batch, they hatch on Sunday(January 11, I believe.)
Thank you for your video. Till now, I had no idea what I was doing nor knew how to properly care the Fry. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for making these videos they have been such a huge help to me the last three days. I now have wigglers, although I have had to take the majority of the eggs away from my first time angel parents in genuinely concerned I have upset my fish, I took the eggs away today because they started eating the moving eggs and not spitting them back out, thanks x

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I sort of grew up with my mom having Discus and Altums. Had some Angelfish over the years and even a hatch or two, but wasn't serious about breeding. I have gotten back into it, due to other circumstances. And really enjoy the Blue Philippinos, Red Shoulder Manacapuru and Bulgarian Seal Points. I have a really young pair of RS Manacapuru's that surprised me with eggs. And a day later the Blue Philippinos as well. They are about a year and so far didn't get them to hatch. But have both of them hatch and are about 24 hour old wiggles. They are in a breeder tank, but one has a Hillstream loach I will have to remove. And the other 3 Otos. I will just see and let them try to figure it out. While I do have hobby store owners interested, I am in no rush and just want to learn and enjoy this. I may set up another 20 gallon, just for the babies, as I have for my fancy guppy babies. Thank you so much for the tips and especially for showing what the stages look like. It has been a whole for me😄👍🐟
Dude said “Three to four months years old.” 😂 7:07
hahaha
Yesterday I found free swimmers, i knew mine laid eggs, but was so surprised they actually developed. Hopefully they will grow into beautiful creature
How do u feed them?
Thanks! I just had a pair spawn and I've got wrigglers born from what I, and the store/ my friends all thought were 2 males. Oops. Anyhow, I havent intentionally bred them for 15 years and your video was a really nicely done example video of how to raise them. Thanks
Pfft.
I made that mistake too. I bring home two random parrot cichlids, next hour has them pump out over 1000 eggs(I counted with a calculator.). None of them were fertile but blood was pumping through my veins, I was literally going ‘WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUC-SHEITS’ the entire time. If anybody doubts, parrot hybrids do actually lay around 600-2000 eggs, although most don’t hatch or survive.
wow! you are super with all the information, it was really a big help, pls keep up the good work....:-)
Thank you for this. Hope you have a good weekend.
Thank you sooo much for this video it was spot on for what I needed to know. I just last nite noticed the eggs and tonight They started wiggling. So I guess they laid the eggs earlier than I thought. I was considering removing the eggs and the breeding pair from the other fish in the tank, but decided to leave them so as not to upset them as this is their first time. And I wasn’t sure if they were eating the eggs or spitting them out. Which I see from your video that they are just doing what their supposed to. Thank you again now I know what to expect. I’ll watch the other version of the video tonite. 😘
being a new hobbyist thanks a lot for the video👍👍
Good luck, amigo.
Thanks for this it will really help out my fish
Thank you for posting this video. I JUST found wigglers in my community tank. I did move MOST of them to a nursery. (The ones I could get) I hope that they make it. They are starting to get eyes. :-D
My angel fish just put out the same amount of eggs. I'm honestly so excited to see how they come. It's gonna be cute haha 🙏♥️
Did they hatch??
@@someone_does_stuff nope I have no clue why
Paired angels? It might be the angelfish just being inexperienced, or it could be one of the parents’ problems.
@@Nemesis0513 Well whatever it is‚ the next day the eggs weren't there. And there weren't any babies either. I am so worried but maybe it's a nature thing where the parent protects the eggs somehow?
@@san-qy5vs
I had a similar situation where there were eggs, and some were white, some translucent, but they disappeared at some point.
I actually thought the first time it was some kind of parasite and was starting to wipe them off the heater, until I decided I should look it up, and realized they were eggs.😉
I read that it could actually be two females I had, so they would never get fertilized, so I was wondering about that being a possibility, until probably a few batches later, when I saw a cloud of free swimmers. At first I was wondering what they were, as I thought they would look like tiny angelfish rather than translucent sperm with eyes.
I guess it just takes a few tries for them to get the knack off it.
Thanks,so helpful.
Beautiful Angels.
I wish you well.
Thanks for a very informative video. Finally gave my breeding pair their own 29 gallon tank. Hopefully I will be a Dad again!!!! When do you recommend starting a brine shrimp culture? Do the fry foods also work?
hi there. thank you for the support. i usually start my baby brine on the 4th or 5th day after the angels lay eggs.
Your angelfish were spitting the eggs out it was kind of funny 🤣
awesome video i just got a pair after 2 years ive been breeding other species but now i have another pair i got at my LFS and i am excited to get them to breed and you gave me so much help by the way my first pair was from walmart didn't know i picked a pair but that they were staying together needless to say they breed and had over 50 fry that turned into mini angels they layed the eggs on a amazon sword leaf them moved them around the tank at the end i was left with 17 that i gave away then they died so i was surprised because i didn't try but discouraged. So im doing all my research i can i have them in a sweet setup anywho thanks for the video and letting me rant on
Great effort mate .
I am on my 1st try, my fry are at the wiggler stage. tanks for your videos , wish me luck, thanks again Mel
Mine are wriggling as well. Scared to pull them out, scared to leave them.
Good luck, you two. Wriggler stage only lasts a week, after which they start swimming and your job is slightly easier(or harder, dunno). You can leave them with the parents for up to a month and a half after hatching, when the parents need to lay again and chase the fry off. Try to get them out by the 3 week mark.
Thank you for that informative video. I breed angels and this was extremely helpful. 👍
Watching this as my pair have just laid their eggs in a 75 gallon community tank. I’m getting our 39 gallon bow front set up for them today :) Got them as part of the tank along with lots of other fish and I know this first batch is probably gonna be fish food.. I’m actually treating the tank for ich right now so I’m surprised that they decided now was the time for eggs.
Great video bro❤️❤️
Very helpful video
Mine are sat at the bottom or on the hornwart floating above their hatchery. Are they free swimmers? They're 11 days old
Thanks for the advice and Can I ask how many of the babies survived as I am getting some angles and want ta breed them
You usually get a 90-0% survival rate, but I’m assuming he got around 150 out of 300. That’s a 50%, although he could have sold off the rest.
Hi, I have angel fry that are about 1 week or below I just noticed it today since I had removed my 2 adult angel from that tank and I was surprised to see so many fry today so happy and excited at the same time... This tank where the fry are is 1500 liters so I'm not sure how to change the water 🌊 to keep it clean? Any suggestions please?
Looking for some advice QUICK! my two largest angels have just paired off but the problem is the have laid they're first batch of eggs on the side of my internal filter. I've removed the unfertilised eggs as they are due to hatch soon would it be best for me to put the fish in a hatchery once they become free swimming???
Hey should I move them to a different tank? I have other fish in there with my angels in their wiggle half egg size?
Hi orange angels wow now seeing the adults with wigglers di they eat some or looks like spitting them back in place. Can you show us your close up females vs your males im still having trouble with that. Excellent vidio
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. I have eggs that are starting the wiggler stage, which is are 3rd attempt...we'll see if they are healthy in a few more days. Thank you again
My angelfish have recently laid their 2nd batch of fertilized eggs. 1st batch doing well but due to lack of experience have lost a lot but still have a handful left. I wasn't prepared for the 1st lot so I'm learning as I go. Was more prepared for the 2nd batch which are still wrigglers and no fungal growth on them unlike the 1st batch which I lost a third of the eggs due to fungal growth and dying after free swimming. Have separated both batches into seperate tanks. 1st batch I was feeding them boiled egg yolk for about 3 days because I couldn't get fry food as I can't get brine shrimp where I live. Now I feed them egg yolk mixed with fry powder food. Gradually weaning them off egg yolk to the powder stuff. But they are thriving.
Just found this other vid .. do you know anything about glo fish
they can't have babies
Actually, it depends. If the glowfish was injected with the wrong bioluminescence gene or chemical, they can’t breed. However, glowfish made through genetic engineering of injecting the glowfish bioluminescence gene actually can breed and produce viable fry, but they aren’t naturally accustomed to being glow in the dark. That’s the major factor against them breeding. They CAN, they just don’t wanna. You’d need to do a surgery to extract the semen and eggs, but it’ll work.
Thanks for the info !! Very helpful How often do pairs lay eggs ?
At what age do they start breeding? Gorgeous fish. Thank you, I can’t wait for my 1st angels!
How big of aquarium do you have to have to keep angel fish?
Angels need a basis of 20 gallons, upgrading by 5-10 gallons per additional angelfish. You can usually keep a nice 10-20 in a 80 gallon tank.
At what size does they lay eggs
Hi do I have to remove the parents from the tank once the fry are free swimming
Hi my angelfish have just laid eggs on my built in filter and was wondering should I remove mum and dad ( only them in tank ) or should I remove eggs and if so what the best way. This is the time I have had angels lay so all new to me . Any help would be much appreciated thanks Ian .
I think you're best off leaving them, as they should take care of the eggs by keeping them clean.
I have tried 3 times, and all failed. Is purified water from a vwater store the safest bet?
Should I put them on a incubator/tumbler?
Wow once my angel fish lays her eggs if they fall off the leaves they eat them just like the the father it's been atleast 5 times ive seen them do this how can I prevent this
Very useful keep going ❤️
Define clean water please? I have a heavily planted tanks where my water nitrates are lower than the tap water. Is that good enough or do they need a mineral water
So I have a 75 gallon how much water change should I do a week an also is flaky food crashed up ok for them instead of brim?
Mine is almost ready to hatch and my eggs has a cloud looking stuff around them is this ok please tell me
I have a 5 gallon tank and added 2 Angel fish that I think may be a male and female pair. They were the last two fish in tank at petco. I’m willing to buy a 10 gallon tank as they will inevitably grow larger if needed. In case they did mate… could I keep the fry in the same tank with them? I’m wondering why you have separated them. I’m pretty new at being an angel fish parent. 😊
Hey so what happens if you want only like 3 or 4 angels not the whole batch. Mine just laid eggs today but I’m only interested in a tasing like 3 at most. What do I do? The eggs are in a community tank thx
Awesome it will help us a lot thank you
Yesterday my angle fish put out a lot of eggs but then when I come downstairs all the eggs that used to be where it was‚ isn't there anywhere. And before I saw live that an angle fish sucked in an egg. Why does it do this?
They love caviar more than their children?
Infertile, maybe. They could also be moving the eggs to a new spot. If they’re eating, the gills will pump hard for a split second. Holding is more of a soft suck, followed by a hurry to another spot, then a quick set of pumps, followed by the eggs or fry tumbling from the parent’s mouth.
I just found wigglers today in my tank....we love our fish so much and this helped. I hope they live....Do you think that removing the eggs will socially harm the parents. I thought they were eating them, so I removed them. I hope they are okay.....thanks for uploading this...was great to watch!!
Oh babies are safe in their own tank....let you know if they live.
Hi. It will stress them out a little bit, but they will be fine. They will forget they laid the eggs a few minutes after and lay eggs again a week later.
It will not harm the parents, because they breed every half a month. If you raise the fry with the parents, the fry will become more adept at raising their own fry, apparently. So yes, the fry get socially influenced by the presence of a parent fish.
should i still have the oxygen airstone next to them once they hatch?
This video was super helpful cause my angel fish I had them for a long time finally they made eggs 😄
Congratulations
Made or laid? I must know.
Mine spawned do you leave lights on at night or not?
How long does it take them to take their final color my babies are about 3 months old they have black stripes one is kinda silver looking and the other has yellow and pink tints to it. Mum is blue and dad is black do they take after the parents or could they just be random colors ?I also have a second brood of them and they are turning out the same . I have some that are only a quarter of the size of the same cluster of eggs can fish make runts are they likely to survive? They are 1 1/2 months old they still eat and stuff but don't seam to be growing at the same rate as the others
Great video, so much helpful information. I have a massive tank and two of my angels started breeding forcing me to move all there friends to another set up. Separated there forst lot and now have a good 50+ month old babies who are going great and finally looking like angelfish. So excited
mum and dad on there 3rd round but second successful set of babies. Will they stop laying eggs of you keep them with there fresh fry?
Thank you for the info We are going to try and raise them when do you take the pair out And when can she start relaying again
If you want a more social fry batch, remove the parents when they start to develop a rudimentary color scheme(around 3 weeks to 5 weeks), but artificial is after about 30 hours to ensure that the eggs are viable. She will lay again after 1 1/2 to 5 weeks depending on the situation.
hello, can you leave the fish fry in the same tank as the parents? the eggs laid were very un-expected and I was not prepared with another tank.
Thank you so much for this video. I noticed some eggs on my tank the other day and had no idea what was going on. I found your video after I thought my fish eggs were dead. Good to know they are still alive. What can I do with the hundreds of fish after they hatch? I’m not a fish breeder just have a tank I love to watch.
The parents eventually eat the fry to breed again, but you could sell them for a bit of cash to a store.
@@Nemesis0513 is that always the case or is it dependent on the parent's characteristics? The ones I have are morsel sized now, so if they eat them I would think they would have already.
@@wingerrrrrrrrr I’ve seen some cichlid parents care for their fry upward of two months, but domesticated fish usually aren’t as good at parenting due to separation from their parents. While some parents may be good to their young, others will tear them apart. Mine were shitty parents, I’ve seen lots of shitty parenting from cichlids, but I’ve currently got a pair of convict... hybrids, I guess? sitting on some fry, they herd them around the tank and chase of other fish. So... some are good parents. Others, not so much.
It’s been a week and the eggs r still white. This is their second attempt. What’s going on ? I have an Ehime filter. Do I still need to change water frequently ? Is the male not doing his job ? They’re very attentive parents and diligent.
Do u need to separate the adult angel fish from babies once they start to swim like little tidpole
My eggs hatched and wiggled off slate into gravel...are they still alive you think??? I have them seperated from all other fish??
i have bought 4 angels from a fish store. i would say they were about 3-4 months (quarter size) from looking at the ones you had. i put them in my 75 gallon tank with my other adult angel. anyways, all 4 of them died... and idk why.. it was like literally one after the other. my adult angel did not seem to be aggressive with them. actually quite the opposite. my water conditions are perfect according to the test strip from the store. my water temp is 79 degrees... i am not sure what i am doing wrong? I really want to raise an angel fish tank. if you dont mind giving me advice?
I had surgery just over a month ago so my tank hasn't been cleaned since just before that and last night my angel fish paired up and laid and fertilized eggs! I'm so excited, but I have other types of fish in my tank. I'm going to get a divider but my question is, once they start swimming on their own do I need to separate them from their parents as well as the other fish so they aren't eaten or will their parents not eat them?
What need to be a temperature for eggs?
Another Q? Just had another spawning. A few white eggs became many many more. Were these fungused, or just not fertilized? Last batch had a few wigglers, so I know that there are a M and F. Your thoughts?
Steve Finestone white eggs are caused by many things. could be water quality. could be unfertilized. a lot of factors come into play. i would try hatching them on my own.
My angel fish eggs is lay 3 days complete but problem some white are white. And some others eggs has over a crystal layer. I don't now I what to do.
Hi. I just found wigglers in my tank. I have 3 angel fish and i dont know the parents. One of them tried to eat the wigglers. So i separated all of them in a different tank. Will the babies grow on their own?
Had a pair of blue marble angelfish...hope they will successfully breed soon..!
can my 2 angelfish breed when there are 6 sword tails and 1 molly and 1 guppy and 4 bristalnose in a 29 gal
loved the video!
I have about 40 baby Angel's, 5 months old how long before you can tell which are male and female .
Wow I wish my platy and molly cared about their babes just like this 😂😍
Livebearers have about 1-300 fry per spawn(every month or two). Their fry are born ready to survive, the parents don’t need to care. Also, the parents need to eat, and too many fry means that overpopulation is a thing. They need to remove the weak to allow the strong to have adequate resources to grow up and pass on superior genes.
Tl,dr: they don’t need to care, unlike these specific types of broody fish.
Excellent video!
Wow they are keeping their babies safe
Nice videos. Please comment more about how and how often to do water changes AND how much and often to feed. This is in regards to fry. Thanks.
Weekly change or twice a month, 10-25% water change. Try to keep the temperature even during that. Feeding is daily, just enough so that you can see every angelfish going at the food. Food should be either a squirt of live microfood or fine powder like food, which includes flakes, soft pellets, and egg yolk.
where do i buy my carbione fliters from like yours in the tank sorry about the spellihg
Ty I'm starting my first brood of angelfish
I have my first successful fry batch. Took them from the parents as freshly laid eggs n kept em in a fry net in the tank til wiggler stage. They are now in a small 1.5 gallon tank alone n have been eating for almost 2 1/2 weeks now. They are getting big quick. Been feeding hikari first bites with powdered freeze dried daphnia n blood worms mixture i make myself... Seems to be working great. Daily cleanings n water changes are a must.... Cant slack on any one thing or it could be disasterous. Any tips woyld be appreciated. Ive got a 5 gallon n a 10 gallon cycled n waiting.
I hope you don't mind me asking questions but I feel like you're an expert on angel fish so you're the best person to ask, I don't have any plant-based deco in my tank for the angel fish it's mostly just ornaments do you suggest that I get plants for them?
I just love your angels that's how I want my 75 gallon to look like and I have a good question for you on a 75 gallon fish tank that has a few plants in it they're not sharp or pokey plants except for one little tiny one I have how many angelfish can I keep in that tank if I had six Patty sunburst fishes
But do the parents eat them? Can we keep the parents and the babies in the same tank?
hi, i just watched your video on raising angel fish, i have 4 angel fish in a community 75 gallon tank. i have now seen 3 of my angels laying eggs and i am assuming my smaller silver angel is daddy. i have not been able to keep eggs past 3 or 4 days. im not sure who is eating them but i think its the male, what can i do to stop him from eating them? he appears to fertilize all 3 angles that are laying eggs, but i always catch him eating them as well. if you have any suggestions please do tell me, thank you.
The male is not paired with anyone. This species is a 1:1 breeder, meaning that there’s only one boy for every one girl. Set him into a tank with one female, and if they don’t match up, switch it up, do this for every female. Matching takes about 2 weeks to a month to complete. If he appears to breed with three girls then eat all the eggs, he’s raiding infertile batches.
Thanks for the video. My pair of angel fish is hatching their eggs for the third round now. The first round was in late March 2017; their fry swam freely for 3 days then all disappeared. Six weeks later, a new batch of fry swam freely for 2 days, then most of them disappeared except 12 survived, the day after they were all gone. Then 2 weeks later (May 31, 2017) I saw many many eggs again. Today (June 03) they are wigglers. I am sure they will soon become free-swimming fry. But I am afraid they will all disappear just like the previous two times. I already did everything I learned from the internet: keep the parents and fry separate from other fish by using the tank divider and fed the fry with baby brine shrimp. I didn't try to change water every day as suggested in one of the comments of this video (because I thought I should not change the environment when babies are in the making). Is it the only thing I should do differently this time (changing water)? My tank is 50 gal and currently there are only 7 fish + hundreds of wigglers. Any advice would greatly appreciated. *Honestly sometimes I thought I should just by some adult angel fish because it's cheaper than buying brine shrimp, the tank divider, and some other accessories for the fry. But I really wish to have some survivors this time to satisfy my hobby. Thanks for reading.
Thu Do as
If you want to get serious, Hager them their own tank, see if the fry disappear. If not, then it was the other fish. If they still disappear, it’s the parents and the water quality.
I know this is an old video but hopefully I can get some help here. So my angelfish are laying eggs as we speak but they're laying them on the canister filter intake. What can I do to either remove them or prevent them from getting sucked up?
Cover the intake of the filter with a fine mesh object(pantyhose is apparently really good, so is some cloth fabric) or try to remove them with a toothpick or something like that. However, the parents will usually do everything by themselves. By the way, how are they?
@@Nemesis0513 they're doing good I actually removed the intake nozzle and placed it in my empty breeder tank. They're little wigglers now. Thank you a appreciate the help.
I am on day 6 from eggs laid Angelfish; " VEIL" should they be free swimming yet? I see them wiggling a lot on bottom.
Hi, PLEASE HELP. I am so heart broken. We were so exited about our angels laying eggs. They were the perfect mommy and daddy. Until they became free swimmers. They start to eat the fry's. So we saved about 30. Googled and ask for info. Bare bottom tank, WC every 2 days. Feeding BBC. At first everything looked so normal. But then I noticed that my fry's are not swimming much. I learned about belly sliders. About 80% look like belly sliders. They are 3 weeks old now. But will not come up for food. Don't swim around. Some will move around. Mostly on the bottom. The ones that will move from the bottom only go about half way. Looks like they get tired. Please help. What can we do?
