Blovee3 - 7 years ago

Omg my two angelfish are breeding and look just like your two!! I finally had to raise the babies myself now they are free swimming:) can you please tell me what the babies yours had turned out to look like?? I'm dying to know!!!

Clem Mahabir - 7 years ago

does water parameters make a difference in fertilization?
don't use RO water in your tanks, or is your tap water hard or soft? Cam this make a difference in successful fertilization of the eggs?

Michael Habeck - 7 years ago

Why did you remove the parents?

MAYITA BEGA - 7 years ago

Wow!

Valerie Storm - 8 years ago

my parents had success with a beautiful marble pair that took care of their own babies they never had to feed them. my angels managed to hatch free swimming fry, but consumed them the next day.

+folobop gamers united thanku so much 4 ur help...

amogha M - 8 years ago

my angles had eggs but that all turned in to White collar whit should I do

Valerie Storm - 8 years ago

if they all turned white they didn't get fertilized. they grow a fungus after a few days if unfertilized.

XJustice Leaguex - 8 years ago

i swear i saw that angel eat the babies

Valerie Storm - 8 years ago

+Eadyn Clifford mine sure ate them! Every last one.

XJustice Leaguex - 8 years ago

+Valerie Storm well the person who made this vid told me that they move and sometimes eat them

Valerie Storm - 8 years ago

they were just moving them.

XJustice Leaguex - 8 years ago

+Chris Dingman I got a answer a month ago from the creator of this they said they would of ate them.

Chris Dingman - 8 years ago

they were probably moving them

XJustice Leaguex - 8 years ago

what a shame D; i have 2 angel fish that i do not know whta jender they are

Patrick Skinner - 8 years ago

+Eadyn Clifford You probably did. The parents will eat all of the fry if you leave them in the same tank.

Ace Buriel - 8 years ago

is it actually eating its spawns? So this might be the reason to separate them.

Hey bud please check out my angelfish breeding videos. If you sub I will sub back. Thank you.

Talisha Stephens - 9 years ago

Why are my male and females eating the eggs, and when they hatch? Should I remove them this time?

Talisha Stephens - 9 years ago

Thanks that's awesome advice! I just really wanted to know if I could remove them. Thanks a million!

Natalie Watson - 9 years ago

Just get a small 5-10 gal tank and have the eggs in there ALONE till they are bigg enough to go into a tank of their own.

Natalie Watson - 9 years ago

Are your Angel's in a tank alone? They feel threatened so they will eat their eggs. My angels ate their spawn 4 times. This time I decided to let them fan them for the couple of days and on the 3rd day I took them out and put a Air stone next to the eggs to keep oxygen flow. Now they are wiggling and about to be free swimmers.

GwynnbrookFarm - 9 years ago

Liuhuayue - 9 years ago

Strange, my grandma's angelfish also like laying eggs on the heater. The only problem is that the parents or other fish end up eating them all within the next several days after they're laid. We tried moving them or separating them with a net, but it hasn't been successful so far.

Leandro Loureiro - 9 years ago

dont they eat the fry?

Mack Moody - 9 years ago

ok that was not helpful at all. I was hoping it would give advice when they wont breed or rather will but do not fertilize the eggs.

Wezilla - 9 years ago

Awesome

Kat Rogers - 9 years ago

This is a great video! I've had some slight experience with guppies & later on, betas. When I was in elementary school, this friend of mine gave me 2 males and 1 female... within a couple of months I had what appeared to be hundreds of fish! I didn't know the babies are referred to as frys (and without an extra tank, the fry make nice food for their parents!) OY... Live & Learn!! I bought one of those new aquariums "My Fun Fish", it has a pretty cool self cleaning system built in, so I'll get a Beta and see how that works.

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

Why does everybody feed them live Brine Shrimp? Can't they feed them dead food? Like flakes and stuff?

Snipercube - 8 years ago

+Sulleh Sweeney yup, my angels go crazy for it.

AnimalLover - 8 years ago

+Sulleh Sweeney
Yup they did!

Sulleh Sweeney - 8 years ago

+Snipercube I don't know many cichlid that would turn down a good bloodworm meal, hehe. :)

+AnimalLover hope some things got answered for ya!

AnimalLover - 8 years ago

+Snipercube
Yeah, that's all I was asking.

Snipercube - 8 years ago

Guys leave him alone. I use flakes, wafers and frozen bloodworm and my fish are healthy and happy.

MasterAquatics - 8 years ago

Bbs is the way to go. Check out how I hatch mine and see I how I raise my angelfish fry. Sub me and I will sub back. Thank you.

Sulleh Sweeney - 8 years ago

+AnimalLover Even if you feed them frozen bloodworms, they were still alive at some point-it's not any different than feeding them brine shrimp to keep them healthy. Aside from contradicting yourself, I feel like you're a very young troll or something :P Things need to eat, everything lives, whether it be flora or fauna. If you don't like it, don't get them. (Personally I wouldn't want to feed them flakes every day, all day.. variety/live food is great for them and some species of cichlid need it.)

AnimalLover - 8 years ago

+Pooop
I seen lions eat a human, they tore his leg off and he was still alive and then they went in for the kill. It was funny.

Cory - 8 years ago

+AnimalLover I feed my puffer fish live fish from time to time, he grabs them by the stomach once and tore its stomach off, It was still swimming, then he when up and bit it in half. it was funny

Volpierein - 9 years ago

+AnimalKingdom I put a couple guppy fry in with mine to help train them to eat flakes but they refuse. BBS is just best in protein and overall wellness for the fry I think so it's no big deal to me.

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+Volpierein
Mine eat flakes, they didn't eat it right away it just took them a few days and they got used to the flakes, now, they love them.

Volpierein - 9 years ago

Babies usually won't eat flakes or anything. The movement of the BBS makes them want to eat. I've tried feeding my babies flakes and decapitated brine shrimp eggs when I was having trouble with my hatchery but they refused to eat it. Feeding them BBS and micro worms are the best choices.

Glacier9000 - 9 years ago

Well

Glacier9000 - 9 years ago

We'll your mean

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+Leandro Loureiro I'm never going to give my fish live fish. I will only give them Freeze Dried Blood Worms and flakes. That's all.

Leandro Loureiro - 9 years ago

you can make a misture with the flakes for the fry

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+Leandro Loureiro
Yeah I know but not always it's good for them. And I hate wasting lives. If I get Angel Fish I'll feed them flakes.

Leandro Loureiro - 9 years ago

it's what they eat in wild

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+Leandro Loureiro
Not always.

Leandro Loureiro - 9 years ago

You can, but fresh and live food i better for their health.

Sc J - 9 years ago

All people asking for tips, try keeping live plants with your angelfish fry or any fish fry, the fry love to eat the microscopic bugs that grow on the plants

Michael Orme - 10 years ago

Great video. My f1 pair keep laying but never hatch, think the water is too hard here.

laura sutton - 10 years ago

I just had my eggs hatch they r wigglers I hope I can raise them to adults

MasterAquatics - 10 years ago

What is your secrete in raising the frys succesfully with no deaths?? I am on my thrid batch and they are dying on me. They are in a 20 gallon high, with two sponge filters, with a ten gallon heater, with the temp kept around 85 or 86 farenhite. I am feeding them twice a day with hikari first bite. I had 40 now I only have 3. one dies every day. they are also growing very slowly. One of them in there is from my first batch about a month ago and he is still small. I change the water everyday about 25 percent. what am I doing wrong?? Also water is good. I test it regularly. so I do not know what is wrong. Tell me your routine and what you do please. thank you.

MasterAquatics - 9 years ago

+leolove110
I realized later, that my heater was not putting out enough heat. I bought a new heater and put in better sponge filters. Now I also feed them baby brine shrimp three times a day. You should check out my channel and watch my vids. Sub to me and I will sub you back :)

leolove110 - 9 years ago

Whenever I tried hakari, my fries die too :(
later, I came to know the shop keeper was selling expired feed (they reprint the date) and that was the cause.

I used brine shrimp babies and all went fine. It was the first time I got my babies survived :)

Faisal Malik - 10 years ago

what is the difference between male and female anglefish ?

cherryblossom2100 - 10 years ago

I wished I was more experienced with breeding angels, I was sold two angels (and told they weren't a breeding pair!!) then after a while they started laying eggs but as soon as they hatched the parents just ate them!!

Debra Marchetti - 10 years ago

my angles have the eggs on slate. on the baby tank with the plants what do you have holding the plants in the planter? It looks like dirt

Debra Marchetti - 10 years ago

loved this what plants do you have in the baby tank

Amy Napier - 10 years ago

Great video...looks like you had great success with your angel fry. My angels spawned unexpectedly (I didn't even realize I had a male and female until it happened...) and I gave raising the fry a go myself. May I ask, how often per day did you feed them? And what was your water temperature?? My fry made it to day 17, but compared to yours were developing extremely slow. I've read tons of information via the internet, but I just don't understand what I did wrong. So disappointing!! Any information you could allow would be appreciated!! BTW...I'm a fellow North Carolinian as well!! Go Panthers!! :)

Amy Napier - 10 years ago

+ecuacura I have some 5 day old wigglers right now! I'm gonna order me an adjustable heater and give it another go! ;) Thanks so much for your reply and helpful information!! Wishes for a healthy and happy New Year to ya!

Actually you can breed angel fish in a 12 12 12 inch tank and then remove the fry,so the parents will stay in peace! so keep it up nice pair and offsprings,and Thanks for sharing mate!Why you use hexagnal thank to save space,what`s the sizes?

jared honeycutt - 10 years ago

i can't wait till I get a pair of breeders and have their own fry

Siddhun Karthik - 10 years ago

It is all rare to get to watch them. Normally near by pet store guys have less knowledge and don't even motivate to breed/grow baby fishes. Your video is really motivating me. It is so clear and healthy contents, neatly explained. Thanks, keep posting all your project works(if so, or even if it is hobby, like mine).

is it cheaper to grow brine shrimp or buy them

jami bender - 12 years ago

fantom58 - 12 years ago

I'm amazed that the parents tolerated moving them and their spawn to another tank. I didn't think convicts would put up with that, let alone angels.
