Angelfish gone Bonkers..
Some one gave my daughter (tennhound) a tank but she had to take the angelfish that were in it too. Since she needed the tank for something else knowing my love for angels she asked if I wanted them. So sight unseen I said yes. When they got here there was one obviously full grown, very fat marble angel. The others appeared to be very young juveniles with huge fins. The two largest bodies isn't aren't bigger than a half dollar.
Well Lo and Behold the (pics 1-3)marble and one of the smaller angels have laid eggs 3 or 4 times (I figures he wasn't old enough, but the lastest batch laid Sunday are officially wigglers. YAY!!! They were being really rough on the other 5 smaller angels so I moved all 5 of the smaller ones to the 75G.

(pic s 1-3)After doing a water change today I noticed two of them chasing the other three and guess what I found  ? a leaf full of eggs and two angels laying and covering. Dad is the second pic and mom is the third. Now the three that are left have been moved AGAIN to a thirty gallon long temporarily.
(pics 4,5)The two I want to pair up probably won't LOL

You are exactly right Although I don't think I've ever seen a marble with long fins.
Dads fins are really long, when he gets full grown he will really be something. He is really funny, if you come too close to the tank he snaps those fins out and just quivers like he's just daring me to come closer.
Shawnie I have seven angels now.

Before we moved last May I had lost or given away all the angels in my profile angel album and these are the first I've let myself have since setting all the tanks back up and they are just so sweet.
Here is a great link for anyone who is interested in angelfish genetics.

I thought thats what I would have for awhile, In fact the 55G was decorated just for them thinking they could live in it a bit until they grew some LOL Who Knew!!

Good luck with the spawn Butterfly!  The Angels are beautiful.. I also love the look of the pale/blue ones...
I have a marble and never realized that a lot of the marbles fins are not long, such as like the striped ones. I was wondering why my marbles fins were short.. sort of stocky and much thicker than the long flow of the striped Angels.
I wish I had a pair.. but guess I should just leave well enough alone. As it is, Ive had to seperate these guys. Imagine if they were in breeding mode!  |
