This is the second time my Angel's have spawned. The first time, I didn't realise who's eggs they were so removed them into a separate tank and they ended up dying... I then realised they belonged to my angels.

Now they've spawned again and (not sure what the term is) they're all wriggling on the leaf and I can see little tails. So cute!




This picture is of the happy couple! You can just see a glimpse of the eggs in the background.

That's awesome!! Congratulations and good luck!!!
 
Thanks for looking! :D

The leaf which they're on isn't the flattest of plains so now that the eggs are wriggling and moving more n more, they're starting to fall off the leaf. :(

Both parents are now religiously hovering near the leaf and as soon as a group of eggs wriggle/fall off (even if its just one!), they suck it up in their mouth, and then 'spit' it back into the remaining bunch of them.

I've laid out a flat piece of plastic near the bottom in case they want to relocate the eggs but I doubt they will. :unsure: I'll leave it there incase there's a next time!
 
A few of the eggs seem to have died or disappeared over night. They've noticeably matured though as their 'tails' have grown longer and isntead of bunching around the top and falling off, they're swimming on their own by the edge of the leaf.
