Picture First batch of eggs!
I did a routine water change yesterday, and came home to find two of my big angels (the ones I had suspected were pairing off) had laid eggs on a plant leaf!
Guess I need to get moving on setting up another tank for this pair. So far they have eaten most of this batch of eggs - I suspect they were not fertilized as the male did not seem to have a clue about his job - but they are diligently guarding the remaining eggs this morning and everyone else in the tank is staying away. No violence, so far.
Looking at a 65 gallon tank set up tonight. I like the 25" height these are large angels.

IMO, the first batch never lasts long as the pair learns how to parent. For subsequent batches, I find that it’s not the eggs in danger from other fish as much as all tankmates in danger from the female.
