cullywilliams Posted yesterday at 12:08 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:08 AM We got a set of angelfish about a week ago. A day or two later, we saw eggs. After some quick googling, we thought they were orange and not going to progress. We left for a three day trip, came home, and the next day see fry. I have no idea what to do now. We have a spare 23gal tank that were working on setting up now in case that'd be beneficial. Current tank is a standard 55gal that has two three-spot gouramis, a flame/dwarf gourami, two danios, a small pleco, a few coreys, a few otos, and the pair of angelfish. See attached pic for the fry and the two angry parents. What do we do now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All cichlid parents will do that. I personally would leave the fry be. My main reason would be the plants in the aquarium. The fry will find tiny microorganisms to feed on. I suggest adding a sponge filter to your aquarium to seed it with beneficial bacteria. You then could use the sponge filter in a fry growout aquarium. @cullywilliams Edited 21 hours ago by Tlindsey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
