Angels laid eggs

OK, not all is gone. There is a few left, say 10. The question now is, what do I do tonight, in order to not get the same reaction? Leave the main light on? Or distract their attention by feeding them and while doing it, switch lights?

 

Come on guys! What to do?

 

Hi Tom,

You can leave the light on, but this is no guarantee whatsoever that there will be any success.

Angels, just like discus, need to learn how to get the breeding thing right and if they are a young pair they will make their mistakes, but they should also get it right after a second try.

I think you must just leave them and then see what happens.

Kind regards,

Dirk

 

OK, will do. Was just worried that it might be bad to give them a non ending day or more.

If nothing comes of it, it is also fine. I did not plan for this in any case. If a few gets to the free swimming stage, when do I have to start providing BS? I have not started prep for that yet and must go read again how to do it. I do have eggs.

Thanks Prof.

 

I have now read a few threads on the subject. Seems like the parents can move the wrigglers? How do they attach them to a surface again? As mentioned in a previous post, I have seen the female trying to do this, but did not succeed. They just bounce off the surface and fall to the substrate.

 

Angels is currently laying eggs again. But are they stupid! As the male try and fertilise it, he brushes more off than what he fertilises. As the eggs is brushed of by the male, they eat them. Oh well, we will see. Maybe at the end there is a few eggs.

They are using an Amazon leave this time, as I covered the filter pipe they used last time in a silk stocking.
