Ideal Conductivity for Angelfish eggs hatching

What would be the ideal conductivity for the eggs of Angelfish to hatch?

I recently got two Golden Veil Tail Angelfish pair (one is Double Veil Tail) and placed them in a Planted Blue Discus tank. Thing is as my Discus are still young, reaching the 4" mark, I keep their water conductivity around 500microSiemens/cm.

I noticed the pair of Angelfish laid eggs today, so I improvised a tank divider to keep them apart from other big fish (Green Corydoras can go through the divider).

I performed a 40% water change and brought the conductivity down to 340 microSiemens/cm, which I know is too high for Discus eggs hatching yet... I have no idea of Angelfish parameters... By the way the coloration of the eggs tells me they're fertilized.

Do I need to lower conductivity significantly? What would be the ideal range for their eggs to hatch?

Thank you

Wish I knew more........... but unfamiliar with conductivity. All I am familiar with is pH and temperature, but would love to know what you mean by conductivity if you get a chance to explain.

 

Conductivity is another way of measuring the hardness in the water - specifically heavy metal hardness(GH) I think? I'm not sure what the optimal hardness for hatching eggs should be. I tend not to check hardness in my tanks as I like to just keep everything stable but I know my tap water is very hard and PH 7.8. I have a hard time hatching the eggs, about 1 out of 4 batches are successful. The fact that I do get success means that you probably do not need to lower conductivity that dramatically.

 

Hello I find I go off of ph levels and temprature ive found in the past when I started out with angles my oh levels were between 7.5 and 8 very hard water and very alkalied ware angles come from a more acdic inviroment with ph levels ranging from 5 up to 6.5.
But these days our domestic breed angles live in all types of waters and thrive very well. Ive found myself lowering the ph levels down between 5.5 - 6.5 soft and acidic waters you will have a much higher sucsess rate of the eggs survivng and hatching than in higher ph levels. A big reason I keep my ph levels lower is when the female lays her eggs and the male follows behind he fertalises them (in lower ph levels the eggs will stay softer for onger and gives the male a better chane of fertalising the eggs than in harder waters the eggs seem to harden a lot quicker in higher ph levels).

I hope this helps you out a little as this is my own personal exsperinaces

Get some ro water and add 5 liters to the tank plus 5 liters of your tap water then condition it with seachem prime and do this every other day for 14 days and watch your eggs hatch rate go through the roof from the first batch .

If not ill be over to putney and get those little eggs to hatch
