my angelfish have paired off (laid eggs also) and i have re-homed the other 3 angelfish that i had. all i have in my 56gallon tank now is an angelfish pair, 6 corydoras, and a bristle nose pleco. my question pertains to that i do not have the time to raise the angelfish fry, but i enjoy taking care of my current angelfish and the pair is actually of my 2 favorite. So my question is what should i do with the eggs and can i keep anything else with the pair or should i just let them have the tank to themselves with the catfish?

welcome to fishlore!!!!!!!
if you dont have time to raise the eggs, just leave them be ...some parents will raise them for quite some time...and sometimes it takes a few trys for them to learn how to raise them.....seeing how they have had the tank to themselves, they may not tolerate others in there now ..but you can have firemouths(2), jack dempsey(1) , platies(3-4) , guppies(3-4)a pair of rams, are just to name a few ...one of the sets not all LOL...or you can have 3 platies and 3-4 guppies together with them...but again, if you try anything, you need to have a back up tank or be able to return them to the fish store as your angels probably dont play nice now that they are use to a tank alone...
