You say you have hatched angels many times… but have you successfully raised them up to maturity? My son bred and raised Koi Angels a couple years ago. Here is a video series we posted, going step-by-step… Edited December 1, 2021 by Fish Folk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 With these two pairs I’m have ing no luck. They are gone normally gone by day three. I have use the same setup before with other pairs. Is there a point I should change the pairing. I have Tried once with with each pair removing eggs. I not tend to get as big a hatch if I remove the eggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 They're just eating the eggs. Yo'll need to pull the eggs, pull the parents, or put in a divider to isolate fry. Try leaving lights on over night once they lay. Lights off / on / off / on "resets" them. Also feed the adults well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH Morant Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 @Fish Folk is right. Separate the eggs and the fish so that the fish cannot eat the eggs. The angels may eventually learn not to eat the eggs, but there is no good reason to wait for them to learn. I have pulled angelfish eggs (on a filter tube once and once on a plant leaf) and put them in a 5-gallon bucket with a heater and an air stone. Works fine. One of the reasons for using a slate like yours is that it is easy to move. While waiting for the eggs to hatch, I got a tank ready. After hatching, I transferred the wigglers from the bucket to the tank using a turkey baster (great tool for fry-raising). Let's go @Brandon p! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) @Fish Folk the videos where good. I guess that since I have never had and issue with the parents eat eggs or young or at least now enough to notice. next time I’m going to keep this journal going and document. The double blacks should be next to lay. Hope fully soon. Edited December 1, 2021 by Brandon p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here were our Koi Angels from one hatch just before we sold them all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 I do I a few a 55 gallons that I can use. An old breed used them for a very long time/25 years with the tanks I got but the glass is cloudy. I have just about run out of room for tanks. I could just rearrange the room and and make so more space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon p Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 They have been resealed. About a year ago. Yes I have a check value fail on the 200 gal. Insurance paid for everything except a new check valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 So last night the other pair. Laid eggs. This is the black pair. I think the male is done fertilizing the eggs. Before bed I’m going to remove the slate as shower in the videos posted. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
