Ooh, so exciting! Man it really makes me wish my angelfish would get their stuff together again. I put some bamboo back in their tank, since that's what they love to make babies on, so hopefully I'll have a successful spawn one of these days. They lay eggs about every two weeks or so, but it seems like such a LONG time between when you're waiting with bated breath!

Well I've gotten two batches to free-swimming, and then the father eats them, but that was in the 55. I've done plenty of research on the subject... I could pull the eggs out and do all the raising manually, but I'd rather do parent-raised if I can. It's much easier that way. If they keep eating them, though, I may have no choice if I want baby angelfish.

No successful spawns yet in their new tank, but hopefully the bamboo helps. Maybe I should get some of your crazy Spanish Fly water.

Hah, that's awesome. I love how the one-eyed angelfish comes in and swims all upside-down to see what's going on.

Day 6 evening update:

All the wigglers are starting to get control now. When they wiggle real hard they no longer stand on their heads LOL but stay "fishy" upright. I caught them all and put them in a breeder net, that has sand on the bottom and java moss floating on top. It was hard to suck them up with the medicine dropper because they can "swim" enough to zip out before I could turn it upright before they fell out! But, after many tries I did get everyone. While in the jar as I set up their temp home they were "swimming" around the bare glass bottom, so should be free swimmers very soon!

My Angels have spent the past 3 days staring thru the divider wishing they could eat them wiggly things LOL. I think the Mama Ram knew what they were because she would watch me with an evil eye when ever I swished them around.

Is anyone reading these???? Or have I been talking to myself the past week?
:-P

I'm really interested in all this. I'm rooting for the little guys!
