hey evryone,
My angels jus laid eggs and I noticed them this morning!! I'm worried that the other fishes (neon tetras, sword tail and a black sail molly) might eat 'em even though they dont let the other fish anywhere near to the eggs. What should I do? Should I like create some sort of a barrier?

Hello Erikezikel. Congrats on the eggs! I'm sure you'll get some responses from experienced Angel keepers. I don't know if inserting a barrier at this point would help or hurt.
Best of luck.

The angels will guard the eggs from the other tank members. In fact they may even hurt them trying to protect their eggs. What is more likely to happen is the parents will get nervous and eat them.
Is there any way to move the other tank occupants so mom and dad angel can have the tank to them selves for a bit? The eggs should hatch in 3-4 days then they will go free swimming in 3-4 more days.
Congrats on the eggs!
