Moving egg questions

I was wondering if I could move bristlenose eggs that I'd like to move into a 5 gallon if that is possible. I'd also like to know what the possibility of me doing this with angel fish if the ones that I'm going to get if they breed.

only if it is attached to something

you have to move the item and the male bristlenose with it, cause he will be tending the eggs for 3 days till they hatch

the easiest thing is to put the breeding pairs in the tanks you are going to raise the eggs/fry in then remove the parents when the right time comes

ya that doesn't really work for me as I'm not allowed another tank and I don't want to put the two of them in a 5 gallon

as i said, all you need to do is move the male and the item the eggs are on into the tank.

once the female has laid the eggs her job is done and she won't be interested in them any more.

when i breed my bristlenose's i just move the male and his bogwood cave into a small 1ft tank and let him take care of the eggs till they hatch. after that he goes back into the comunity tank with the wood and i put another peice of wood in the 1ft tank with the babies
