Hey all ! So I made a post a few weeks back about my angels that I thought paird off they took a side of the tank and they would scare everyone away so I put them in there own 30 gallon tank then after awhile of nothing happenening in the 30 gallong I thought I was wrong so I put them back in my 75 gallon tank with my other fish and right away my black angel went nutts chasing my white (possible male angel away) hes always picking on him chasing the white angel away stressing him out badly the black angels papilia is out and the stomic has been bloated a week now he/she spends its time with the angel with orange on its head all the time they nip at the larger marble angel to get him away but sometimes they let him/her around I'm very confused on whats going on i thought i had a pair but now i have NO IDEA whats going on all i know is i see the black angels palpia out and it looks like my white angels a lil wider is it possible i have 2 females the white and the black? they have plenty of plants and places to lay there eggs .. should i move them into the empty 30 gallon tank ? are they even a pair?

some answers would be great thanks guys!:oops:

what i need to know now is should i move them in the 30 gallon tank [the angels] along withthe magnic so they can have there eggs in there? then as soon as there done remove them and put them back in the 75 gallon tank so i can raise the fry they had in the 30 gallon? Should i let them let the eggs on the magnic in the 75 gallon tank then remove the magnic and put that in the 30 gallon and see if it hatches? i really REALLY want them to hatch i want these babies!!

#41 ·
Poop a rainbow? :?
 
#42 ·
yes thats how excited i am they ran out of room to lay eggs now there laying them in the crack of the glass i have a divider in the tank home made from plexi glass in the tank so the angels have there own side of the tank how long till i know if the eggs are good or bad will they turn pink if good? or whtie i forget
 
#43 ·
Pink? lmao No, they turn white when infertile and it takes less than 24 hours for them to turn into that.
 
#44 ·
do you got pictures? of what they look like shoudl i separate the angels from the eggs once they are done or should i move the magnec with the eggs in the 30 gallon tank alone?

Move the eggs to another tank and dose methylene blue heavily to battle fungus that could spread on the eggs. Keep the eggs near the airstones.
 
#46 ·
since i cannot get methylene blue till tomorrow should I wait till then to move the eggs? i have a divier in my 75gal angels n there eggs in 1 tank the rest of the fish on the other I could move the partents to the other side of the divder if that would work till tomorrow.. How will I move the eggs since theres eggs ALL OVER the magnic i see it as being difficult but possible if i put a big cup or bowl in there and move them that way? should I put 30 gallon of water in the 30 gallon tank from my 75 gallon or should it be fine? sorry im so worried about them.

Use new water with same temperature in the other tank. Move the equipment with eggs attached to the 30g. You need to move it out. It's a good idea to just buy yourself bottles of methylene blue for emergency purposes like this. Warning though...It's carcinogenic and be careful not to stain your skin with it.

I have a hard time looking at the gold in your video. From the pic, yes, it's a male whereas the black one is female.

So how are the eggs now?
 
#50 ·
yes there paila are extreamly differnt looking i woke up and the eggs are looking great! the mommy and daddy are still fanning them like good lil butterflys and trying to scare away fish but theres a divder so no fish can get in anyways lol its so cool watching them fan the eggs I really hope they will lay more if i remove the eggs they still got about 20 eggs on the glass just the 8 million will go with me on the magnic :X this is a picture aftert they finished laying the eggs.





Also i didnt see this anywere but when i fill the eggs tank with water from the sink i should still cholire drop it for metals and all that in the water use a heaert and filter and all that right?

Blah this is SO STRESSFULL!!! x___X;; I got the eggs tank all set up heater , filter , water ,temp .. so i grab the eggs out of my 75 put them in a cup of water so they dont get to dry and then put them in the 10 gallon tank put the drops in the blue it peed out :/ so then i had to esitmate the rest .. then for the stupid airstone i dont know how close to get it with out it having eggs flying off!! so many eggs flew off I lost maybe 50 in total from moving them should I take a picture so you can see and tell me if its to close its sorta hard to make it stay it wont stay like at all when do I turn the filter on for the tank probly after there free swiming?
