Angelfish laying eggs in my community tank

[Blue Lobster]

So yesterday morning my angels are pecking the plastic swordtail plant getting it super clean, then the eggs started coming. I knew they were a mated pair but I never thought it would happen without all kinds of preperation.

Seeing as how they were getting their groove on with no help from me I cranked up the Barry White for them and let nature take it course.


Camera at the ready I caught these pictures.

Martha Laying nother row of eggs.

More eggs.

George making his follow up pass to fertilize the eggs.

Happy parents.

Just thought you'd all like to see the pictures.

No, I don't have enough room to grow out 200-300 angels. I read about having eggs in a community and the strongest few fry will survive to maturity. I will be offering fresh brine shrimp when the eggs hatch, but other than that no plans.

If a few make it that would be cool but I am not counting on it.
