Just a quick question to all ive moved all of my red heart tetras out of my 3ft tank and moved all the plants and left my breeding pair of angles and pleco and 4 coryds in the tank which has gravel on the bottom and a black back ground with a terra cotta long cone in the centre of the tank and a log at each end of the tank with 2x sting filter 75 they have had 3 lots of eggs in this tank but when they did it was well planted the first batch of eggs surrvied but the second and the third have all just gone white with the parents guarding them for at least 3 days then they eat them. (DO YOU THINK THEY WILL BREED AGAIN IN THE TANK THE WAY THE SET UP IS NOW?) Any suggestions?

Yes they will.....once mine started breeding they kept it up until they finally got fry. Sounds like you have done good. I did keep a nightlite in the area so they could better guard the eggs. It often takes several tries for them to get fertile eggs.
Your pleco not too big yet??..He could be a problem if he decides to "clean" the breeding cone. I had cory's with mine and had no problems.

thanks for that im gonna do a 20 percent water change tonight the pleco isnt that big just yet he is about 4 inches ill keep my fingers crossed and hope they breed again cheers TEDSTANK

Yup, I agree. Once they start they usually don't stop. The pleco might be a problem like Tedstank said but my cories also left the eggs alone. Hope you get some babies soon.
