So on day 5 I woke up and all the fry were gone... i waited a couple days to see if any had hidden and survived, then I removed the barrier. The tank is back to normal. I'm not sure who ate them, but now that I know I have a good breeding pair, I'll set them up in their own tank and go from...

There fry are doing great and the parents are doing a great job with them. They are going a lithe further from their leaves, but the parents keep putting then back there to eat and rest. This is so awesome to watch every day.

Sorry for the glare. I marked the fry. Day 4 some of the babies are swimming. If they get too close to the divider, they put them in their mouth and spits them back out on the leaf lol.

They are being good parents, moving the fry around so they can eat. I'm so proud of them!!!

Much calmer now with the divider.

Thanks so much! The divider in the tank helped calm them down quite a bit.

Thanks for replying chromedome52. I bought a 2 yr old breeding pair and there one i was told was the female didn't make it. I tried everything. Anyways i assumed i still had the male. I added another koi and now i know for sure one is female and one is male lol. I lucked out!

Thank you for replying. The story keeps unfolding and the wigglers are moving around on the glass.

Hi. I have a question. The angelfish fry are at wiggler stage. I put a tank divider in my 60 gal bc the male kept bothering the other fish who weren't even near the babies. My question is, can i keep the male and female on the side with the babies? It seems like they may be eating them, but...

I found this and am pleasantly surprised. They are wriggling like crazy. It's too cute!

Thank you. I thought so, but had read that they laid the eggs on a slanted rock, so i have several in the tank. I knew the larger one was a male, but didn't know about the smaller one. And i didn't know if the male or female guarded the eggs... Now i know and I'll keep an eye on them. I'm...

Angelfish Standoff. Is one protecting eggs? I don't know what is on the glass there but the Male on the right won't leave that spot.

Wish I could get a snapshot of my fish doing their weird funny stuff. I just love fish!

HI everyone. It's been awhile. I tried to sell my 30 gal after several of my fish died. I finally recaulked and set it up again. I learned so much on fish lore that I had to give it another go. Plus, my fish are outgrowing the 10 gal. My 60 gal is doing great! I should have the 30 gal cycled...

I had similar issues with my 30 gallon when I started. Lost the female of my 2 yr old breeding angelfish. I almost gave up too, but am so glad I found this forum. It's a life (& sanity) saver!

Yes getting your own test kit is the way to go. Saves time and stress of running to town with a water sample every day.

That's like me... I work because otherwise I'd sleep to much. My current job is pretty physical so my perspective is that I get paid to work out! I can see some abs... So finally the project we had of rearranging the warehouse was rubbing another shift the wrong way (I think they had their slack...

I am so pleased with my tanks. Still beautiful and thriving. 60 gal and 10 gal. My 29 gal had toxic caulking I guess and was killing all the fish so I took it down and have finally decided to recaulk and try again as the 10 gal is getting too small for the growing fish... Wish me luck.

Wow very cool!

Thanks. I found fabric that says A Simple Life and one that had scriptures, so I got creative. My husband and I started going to church together and several Christian bikers joined our local riding group. It's a nice reminder that life is good. I added some new fish yesterday.
