another trio breeding

[onefishtwofish]

A while back another member had a trio of angel breeding. mine r doing it too. it is very cool. I am tempted to put them in a tank of thier own and experiment. unfortunatly they r laying their eggs on the glass so i cant move the eggs over with them. two spawn while 1 chases the other fish away then they switch off. Dave is coming over soon so hopefully he can get pics. at least then i can id them if i decide to keep the trio in thier own tank.

Is one of them a big smokey? I'm very close to having my new tank ready, I'll call you in a few days. Cheers Laurie

Thats awesome congratz. I miss having angels

[onefishtwofish]

sorry Laurie its a trio of koi and they r in the process of moving the eggs! this is the longest i have had eggs survive in a community tank except the batch a smokey pair managed to get to fry but was heavily planted. there r about 34-35 dwarf parrots and 12 other angels in with these guys. having a third on guard is very advantageous. i am gonna try and section them off somehow.

here is their eggies

[onefishtwofish]

Hi Rob. to tell you the truth I cant tell even after all this time. some say the males develope a slight hump on the nose others say there is a difference in the shape of the breeding tube. I know the baby angels used to dine on the daddy and not the mommy usually i can only tell when i see the female laying the sticky eggs.

ahh ok,thanks for the info. I have a 3rd tank downstairs and i'm thinking of making it a Angel tank..

Cheers.
