    That's great!! What do you do with your raised angels,, You sell them to your local fish store or on some sales site? Or ofcourse keep them ( wich i dont think you do)

    They have spawned successfully with fry I have had to a decent size about 7 times. They have spawned about 20 times. Sometimes ate their eggs (only the past 5 spawns they have been doing this) or I messed up and did something wrong killing all of the fry.

    And I messed up adding about 60 fry into my Discus tank before they were big enough and they got eaten by the Discus leaving me 20 that I traded.

    I think they will spawn today. I thought so a few days ago, but I cleaned the tank and it must have messed them up for that time. (they have the breeding tubes out today all the way)

    The past week or 2 I have been fattening them up so hopefully they wont eat the wigglers!

    Very nice. Those guys are bigger than I thought they were judging by the pictures you posted before. So what was the total time spent getting this video up ? :)

    Between, shooting, burning, converting, editing and posting to YouTube, about 10 hours! :roll:

    The plus part is my Discus Videos that I need to work on are all on 1 long video I am editing. So I have them now too.... I just need to edit and make them.

    I also have the title screens made so I wont have to make them again. I just need to change the name in the text on each video.

    :) I said I would promote the board with my videos too

    And yes, they are VERY large (about 10" from pelvic to dorsal tip and 6" head to tail)

    Wow, that's a long time. It only takes me MAYBE 40 minutes max to record the video, put it on my laptop, drag it to my video template, publish and finally post it on YouTube. Uploading it to YouTube taking the most time in that process.

    Yeah, I liked the "The Exotic Fish.com part. :)

    Wow, from the pictures I was though they were about 5".

    Depends..... At best every 3 days.... I think they are spawning today... not sure though, they were prepping the leaf last I went up there. It has been 2 weeks from the last spawn.

    The 3 days is if I take the eggs from the parents.... the 3 weeks is there is something wrong with the pair.... Usually it is every 7 days on average.

    I am still trying to find out what is wrong with them now... have no answer why they are like they are unfortunately. Wish I knew. They have eaten the past 4 spawns and are not spawning anywhere near as frequently. I just bumped up the water temp to 85 from 80 hoping that my help as the only difference I can see is our house is kept a bit colder so I think the temp has came down a bit over the past month or so.
