    Here are my 5-6 day old Angelfish... some trying to free swim but mom fish and dad fish keep putting them back :)

    These were from the original pair... I switched them back a week ago because the other 2 could not play nice.....

    Mine were in the habit of eating them at wiggler stage day 1 (day 4 from spawn). Mine make great parents once they get past that! There seems to be a few hundred here which would make it the most successful spawn by them :D . Even at this point it is their best spawn!

    That would be nice! :) Even seeing them in person I have NO WAY to count them.... Also with my face in front of the tank... the parents get quite mad at me and attack the glass where my face is :confused:

    I dont want to stress them as that could be why they ate them before... just a thought?

    hmm..might be an accurate one. I know when I had them they would attack everything within a foot of the babies (community tank at that time) including me/the glass when anyone went near it. Dummys were very protect until they began to swim...then they and others always ate them. Ugh!

    These are already trying to swim and as usual the parents just move them back to the leaf! :)

    In a little bit they will return the stragglers to the cloud if one or 2 leave... Of course when they move them they have to put them in their mouth.

    Sort of... they used to care for them... then they started eating the wigglers... I broke them up and added the other female in and she was VERY aggressive to the male. I took her out and put the other back in and then they spawned a few days later with this batch!
