spawn emergency

[DiscusLover]

So my angelfish pair spawned again, second time this month.... The issue I have is that they spawned in the community tank and I have other fish in the tank and the angels are keeping them to the right side of the tank. What should I do?

What are the other tank inhabitants? If possible, you can set up a temporary tank divider until the fry hatch and you can siphon them out to a different tank to raise up.

I have 6 discus, single electric ram, a lot of rummys I forgot how many, and corydoras. What should I use as a tank divider?

You have a couple options:

1) You can get the pre-made ones at big box stores or Amazon:

2) You can also build your own, I personally like this design best. It uses PVC tubes, connectors, and for the netting you can use cabinet matting (gives a more snug fit in the aquarium).

I’m lucky in that my angels spawn on either Amazon Swords, or the tiles I have set up for them, so I just remove whatever they spawn on to hatch and raise. The tank becomes calm again once the eggs are removed

I have some big swords as well and for some reason they never laid eggs on it..
