Getting angelfish to breed is not all that complex. Today’s farm raised angelfish are well adapted to handle a array of environmental conditions.
It does no good to have successfully gotten your angelfish to reproduce if you can't successfully raise the fry. You set up the precise conditions as far as water, filtering, lighting and food so that as soon as your fry hatch they have the best chance for survival.
After your fry hatch it will take them a few days to soak up their yolk sack. All through this time your mom angelfish will take care of the wrigglers. Yolk sacs on angelfish tend to be pretty big and will inhibit their ability to swim for the first few days of their life. The mother angelfish habitually works hard during this time to maintain the wriggling mass of fry all together into a condensed mass of wriggling fry.
By approximately the fifth day most of your wrigglers should be free swimming. Continue to make fifty percent water changes every day. The water should be clear and free of any methyl blue that was put in at the start. Any pasty eggs should be siphoned out of the aquarium at this stage as they are unfertilized and will not hatch. If left in the tank they can trigger unwelcome bacterial growth. Continue the 50% daily water changes to keep the water clean and minimize bacterial growth.
The general consensus amongst most experts is that live baby brine shrimp is the best food source for your angelfish fry for the fist couple of weeks. Feeding times ought to be between 4 and 12 times a day. The important thing is that they are fed moderate amounts at each feeding. Angelfish will eat all that is given them and thus can effortlessly eat too much. This will cause increased mortality in young fish. Your fish ought to be satiated at each feeding but not overfed.
Into the eighth day of life the fry are probably ready to be moved from the grow aquarium into a permanent tank. Water changes should still be performed and baby brine shrimp ought to still be the major food source..
After a couple of weeks. if everything has gone right up to this point, you may possibly have too many for your fish tank. Also some have grown larger than others and can need to be separated. At this point, you must decide whether it's time to seek out a potential buyer for your growing angelfish collection.
