New blue angelfish pair have spawned!

[Mattzilla]

Hi everyone,

just noticed that a newly formed blue angelfish pair have spawned for the first time in their dispay tank

as far as i know there isn't many (if any) people breeding blue angelfish in sydney. These where imported from Singapore only a few months ago.

They are still very young so i do not expect them to get it right but my fingers are crossed anyway. i will probably let them spawn a few times in thier display tank then give them a little breeding tank.

I'm VERY keen to breed these guys becuase they make spectacular display fish.

anyway here is the pair with the eggs on the leaf in the background.... sorry about the dirty glass

thanks

Fantastic photo's and beautiful Angel's, mine spawn on a regular basis sometime's not even leaving a week apart so i have high hopes for you. do keep us informed, unlike me i don't seperate them to grow them on and the egg's get consumed by the other tank mates. With Angel's as beautiful as that i would definately raise a brood the very best of luck to you x x

ok so here's a quick update

the eggs fungused after 24-48 hours and didn't think much of it.

the leaf was located right next to the outlet for a pump so i thought that even if they got it right the current would be way to strong to allow adequate fertalization

my better half Jane thought she saw some eggs that had black dots, but i couldn't see any

after another day or so we noticed a few wrigglers!!!! only half a dozen and they are gone now but at least they are now a proven pair.

i'll let them spawn in the community tank once or twice more to strengthen their bond, then give them their own tank.

cheers
matt
