Hi everyone! The babies are finally free swimming as of today. I got some easy fry food from the co op but should I start hatching baby brine now?

You'll need something very fine. Sera Micron, New Life Spectrum GROW Fry Powder, Baby Brine Shrimp, maybe Vinegar eels -- that's mostly what I use for fry until they're large enough to eat crushed flake foods, etc.
Freshly hatched Baby Brine Shrimp are key. Here's a thread where I describe how I make a DIY hatchery and explain exactly how I hatch them. There's other methods, other foods etc. Just an idea here...
Thank you for the help, I’ll make sure to order some stuff now and I’ll check out the video

That’s a great idea, just watch how much flow is going once they become free swimmers. Any plans for what you may try and feed them?
Hi ChargertoLA, so right now I have a small valve controlling the flow and it’s pretty slow but I can see partials move if I move mulm. And I don’t have a idea on food yet, I’ve seen vinegar eels and baby brine shrimp for when there older but I haven’t had and experience with either yet lol.
Also @Fish Folk and @ChargerstoLA the eggs did hatch! Right now there off the leaf and sitting on the bottom of the breeder box and I made sure to remove any eggs that turned white.

If you want to try to hatch them and preserve them, you can cut the leaf, and temporarily suspend it in a specimen container with tank water and an air stone. That can be hung inside the tank to match temperature. You'll need to add an anti fungal agent. We use over the counter 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. For a large, ca. 1/2 gallon specimen container, we use ca. 1 ml. or H2O2. Get the bubbler gently going, and squirt it in the water -- not right on the eggs. Do this once ever 12 hrs for 3x times total, then stop. Eggs will fall off / hatch into "wigglers" (some people say "wrigglers.") They will wiggle around on the container bottom until the fry become free swimming. You do not need to feed anything until they are free swimming.
Here is an entire thread documenting every step from beginning to end with loads of videos that my son did for BAP with our fish club...
Thank you so much for the help. I came up with my own little design lol it has water flowing from the tank into a breeder box then back out and I have the leaf weighed down so there not exposed to air. I’ll keep everyone updated the following days!

What type of angel is the non pinoy (the copper colour one); the two silver seems to be pinoy (blue tint).
So the blue tints are Peruvian altums and the darker browns are red shoulders

There Peruvian Altums, there are still young so there final patterns and colors aren’t in yet

Hi everyone I recently got some help from the forum saying my angels may have angelfish disease do to there swimming behavior and the affected not eating well. There are 4 Peru altums and 6 red shoulders. I just did a 50% water change yesterday and dosed general cure by API. I’ve had one angel fish pass the day before and now have one staying at the water surface. My PH is 7.4, ammonia 0ppm, nitrates 5-6ppm, nitrite 0ppm, temp 78*. Water is slightly hard. If I could get some help to hopefully grow them to adults I would very much appreciate it.
