My angels have laid eggs HELP!

[jarlayari]

OK I wasnt quite expecting this but My angels have laid billions of little eggs on the side of the tank. As I am very new to this I dont have anything else to transfer the babies too etc.

What should I do and whats the chance of any surviving?

If the angels are by themselves in the tank, they may stand a chance. Once they start to spawn, they usually continue to spawn every week or 2.

The first thing to consider is if you have enough buyers for 300 to 600 small angels. The next thing to consider is if you have enough time, room, & money to grow out these fish, along with 200+ more gallons of tank room for them.

My angels had to spawn a few times before there babies got to the wiggley stage (pretty sure Tolak mentioned that in some previous thread as well and was right) so don't be too disappointed if the eggs just disappear one day. It seems like it takes them a while to get the hang of parenting. As Tolak already said, they need to be in their own tank otherwise the little ones will end up as lunch for the rest of the community.

considering you probably aren't prepared for 300+ juveniles, that might not be a bad thing...
