Angelfish Eggs

Posted by Sarah on January 8, 2008

Our angelfish laid eggs last night.

This was the second time they’ve laid eggs, but so far we haven’t had any hatch.  I’ve heard that’s normal though, and that sometimes it can take ten times before fry hatch from eggs.

I’ve also heard that sometimes two females can lay eggs together, although last time we only noticed one fish actually laying eggs, the other fish was kind of following behind the first fish.

So far about 17 of the eggs are white this morning, which means there infertile, but we’ll see how they do.

Last time we had angelfish eggs the eggs lasted two or three days, then they were gone.

Of course the last time the angelfish were in a community tank, and this time they are alone.

Welcome to Northern Lights Aquatics!

My husband and I are addicted to fish!

We currently have angelfish, guppies, platies, black mollies, a breeding pair of bushynose pleco and lots of fry, several types of cories, German Blue Rams,  German Golden Rams, harlequin rasboras, clown plecos, african dwarf frogs, otocinclus, a false siamese algae eater and another unidentified fish that was sold to us as a siamese algae eater.

Do you think we like fish?

In addition to all of those fish we have a salt water aquarium with a yellow tang, and two clownfish.

When people come to visit and see all of the fish tanks they think we’re nuts - but hey, it’s fun, isn’t it?
