My male Koi - "Mr Perfect" Seems unwilling or unable to fertilize eggs deposited by his new female Koi tankmate. The eggs turned white after 24 hours. This same thing happened with his old tankmate who unfortunately died, although he was only 6 months old then. His new tankmate is 6 months old and he is now about 1 year old. Could he be sterile? Or are they just not "bonded", There has never been much aggresion between him and the two females he has shared his 20 gallon hex tank with. Any opinions will be appreciated. I have several angelfish books but still have a lot of questions.

sorry about your other angel fish noone likess there fish dying mine has recently died as well i dont know much about angel fish but all i could think of was he was either sterile or he just hasnt done his part in the breeding but that is unlikely.

Thanks for the reply. Mr Perfect is "show quality". He is huge - the size of a soda can bottom (body only) with long fin trailers although definately not a veil, and is about 80% orange. Looks great at Haloween! His tankmate "Little Queenie" laid eggs for the first time. I only introduced her into his tank 6 days ago. I will write some other time about my odd couple 2 female Silvers whose behavor I cannot figure out.

kool im down to one angel from 4 of them i acidently put 2 pairs in the same tank and the males started to fight and they both nialed eachother and the next day they were both dead then i was down to two females that paired up and ried breeding but failed as there were no males and just recently my veiltail angel got attacked and killed by the pearlscale angel
while the fighting was going on the other fish were all hiding poor things
