Black Angels Spawning

[Sasha]

Well, I was pretty surprised today when I glanced into my 46 gallon and noticed that two of my black angels were busy spawning on an Amazon sword leaf. This is the first time that I have ever seen angels spawn and it was really exciting to watch. The pair are around 11 months old, so they're fairly young and are inexperienced parents since this is their first spawn.

Since they spawned in my 46 gallon community tank, the pair are trying their best to defend the eggs against the other angels and fish in the tank who view the eggs like a free meal.

It it possible to remove the eggs from the tank, or is it best to leave them in the main tank with the other fish? I can always move the pair to a separate tank in the future to spawn, so I just want to hear everyone's opinions and advice on this.

It's possible to remove them, I pull spawns & hatch them in a seperate tank all the time. The first spawn or two is usually weak, I don't pull them, it's usually a waste of time.

I would leave this spawn, & plan ahead for the next.
