Holy Smoke, Riv! You've got as many baby angels as I do convict fry. Hmmm, I see a trade in a few months in our future...

navyscuba

That works for me. That's if I still have tanks since this economy situation is making me think a lot about the hobby.

bolivianbaby

I hear ya, amigo. This hobby is what is keeping me sane with this economy

navyscuba

Well right now we went from 2 people working to just me and it sucks. I'm so frustrated sometimes I think about getting my axe and take a swing at everything.

bolivianbaby

When you start to feel like that go online, find out where all the ex-convicts live and swing the ax at them

So here are the updates well fry are doing great few losses but not big. We added some plants into the tank to keep the Nitrates down even with 1 gal water changes everyday they get up to 40ppm. Got some small pieces of wood with Java Fern and 2 bunches of Anacharis. On more updates the fry parents Spawn again and the other pair of Angels look like they will be soon. Babies all over the house.

lolol....Ain't spawning fish fun?? Congrats! I missed it but are you using a spawning tank?? I hope so.

Imagine 2 pairs spawning every three weeks!!! Tank time !!!
When mine spawned it was sooo exciting...I just didn't want them to. Gave the pair away and the new owner is now swamped in babies!!

navyscuba

Nope they are spawning on the community tank for now when they have eggs a day or two later I remove the plant or surface where the eggs are and put it on a grow out tank. Thanks Ted.

navyscuba

So what you guys say if I tell you that our 2 pairs of Angels are spawning and laying eggs at the same time as we speak. One of the Angels is the one I got from BB few months ago. So now this will be the 4th batch of eggs in less than a month. I know I said this before but now we got fish coming out of our ears. Hahaha. Please pray for someone to buy some fishies from me.

OMG-That's INSANELY AWESOME! I didn't give you those angels, did I? I thought SWilkins gave you those.

Whoever did, I would like to place an order for babies, please.

navyscuba

You told me that the female you gave spawn once in your tank? Hummmm If wasn't you gotta be Sherry.

bolivianbaby

Yep, that was Sherry. I've never had an angel spawn (yet). But it's something I would not mind happening around here.

navyscuba

So how big do you want them at the time delivery?. I have a pet shop that wants them about 2" fin to fin.

bolivianbaby

The safest size for them to acclimate best to a new home. See, I'm learning.

navyscuba

hahaha. Well they are pretty hardy fish. The main thing would be for me to send them or take them to you with a lot of water from their tank so the impact is not that big.

navyscuba

So I thought I post some pics of the baby angels. Just compare the size of the stuff on the tank to the size of the fishies. They are about the size of a keyboard on your PC or a bit smaller. Enjoy.
