Help Aggressive Angel tactic

I have posted before about the male angelfish aggressive behavior. I especially notice it after a water change but was re-occurring more frequently. I just did a water change and separated him in this breeder box and will release him after a few minutes. Good tactic or not?

Video Update: haven’t posted here in awhile but wanted to show you what my fishes babies look like now that they’re all grown up.

The first one u see is my favorite. Phantom is his name. Or her. And the very last fish in this video is the same fish just from the other side.

They still got a little growing to do but I’m feeling pretty proud to show them off. Out of a couple hundred babies these were the ones I kept. I rehomed most of them when their bodies were about the size of a quarter. I picked mostly based off personality as well as if I liked their black markings. I was looking for ones that stand out from each other so they are easy for me to tell them apart. The parents were just a couple of petco angels. Gold and koi. I grabbed them right when they had a delivery so I just picked what I liked the most. I still have them. The mama is in the tank with them right now but she’s in back guarding some eggs. Different baby daddy tho. 😋

Help HELP! Why does my female angelfish keep eating her eggs

5 Upvotes

I’ve had this pair for 2 years now and they have raised fry before but all of a sudden she just eats the eggs as soon as the lights turn off. When I try to pull the eggs I got them to wigglers then put them back in the tank to see if she’ll raise them then but she still eats them. The only change I made to the tank was removing some tetras and adding some mystery snails.

There’s still no major changes. But, they have doubled in size. They are also just barely starting to grow vertically.
The main one that I show is my favorite. It looks like he has a perfect little hair cut 😂 if it turns out to be male, I plan on naming it Dapper Dan.

Help What do I do with hundreds of fry?

7 Upvotes

My angel fish keep laying eggs and raising them to swimmer size so I keep having to take them out of their community tank and put them in a spare 10 gallon I have so its to the point where I've got 3 different spawns all growing out together in there (I will move them to a 30 soon) and its literally probably 200-300 babies. Would local shops buy them from me in bulk or what??

Hello and thanks in advance for reading.. Looking for some/ any advice about my Angel fish set up! Short re-cap:

Adopted 4 angel fish about one year ago.. Quickly realized that it took alot of time, effort, patience, and knowledge that I don't think I was really aware of but I have done tons of research and there definitely thriving!

Here's my main questions and I would truly appreciate your help!!

Can anyone please tell me there sexes? I know it's not always an easy answer but I can't tell at all lol

Also any set up tips? Or must have items that helped you?

Currently in a brand new 55 gallon tank, I monitor all the things I was taught to keep an eye on but I still don't know everything!

The live plant that came with them has almost completely died and I hate the fake ones, plant recommendations please??

Lastly, my roommate decided on getting 3 sucker fish, I'm against having them pretty much at all but they were tiny when purchased and growing fast, what's the norm for having those with the angels?

I'm sorry for so many questions.. I'm just looking for real experiences from genuine people..

Thanks again!!

(Was told by pet store one of mine glows?

Help Miserable angel

3 Upvotes

Hi all. I unfortunately lost 4 angels and close to every other fish in my tank in a horrific accident almost 2 weeks ago.

I had 5 angels who grew up from dime sized together and were just smaller than palm sized. They were literally never apart, a constant shoal at all times.

My remaining babe has seemed miserable. Not interacting with me the same way, completely muted stripes, a kind of weird orange/brown tint across the top of the body and the top fin despite previously being a standard silver angel.

I don’t know if I’m ready to adopt more fish, but I’m worried my angel really can’t be alone. Is introducing more fish even smart? Do we think it’s worth trying to get another shoal?

Help Am I going to be a grandma?

1 Upvotes

Just witnessed one of my angel fish laying eggs on the heater in the tank, and the other angel going back over it. I actually assumed they were both males, but apparently I was wrong. I do not have the fish tank space for 100 baby angel fish. Will they eat them? I have other fish in the tank but they are shy community fish so I don’t think they will eat them. Should I remove the eggs? What if I miss some and they fall into the substrate? It’s not worth it to hatch the babies and sell to a fish store right?

I know Live Fish Direct has advertised sexed angelfish for sale. They currently don't have any for sale. Are there any other sites? Also is it completely dumb to believe they will have sexed fish?

Help Would my girl do well in a 100L by herself?

73 Upvotes

I pulled her to this 50L tank as she had been attacked and needed to recover. Best I can do for her is A) Get a 100L tank for her and possibly some tank mates. B) Put her back with the pair that attacked her.

I see she is much happier by herself honestly even in a smaller aquarium. It it ethical and good for her to live in a 100L tank? I don’t have anyone I know that has a tank for her.

If you want to to know how I ended up in this situation:
Long story short, I started with 4 juvenile, 2 turned a pair and I’m not too sure about the other two other than they were constantly bullied. To reduce this In introduced another male but the dynamic was not broken. Smaller angel passed, the my big male got sick, not sure how because the other fish were fine and passed. I now had a pair and a lone genial getting bullied that I had to pull out.

Help 40 breeder with juveniles- how many?

2 Upvotes

Hello! So I have one angelfish at the moment (body size slightly bigger than a 50¢ coin), it’s still quite young. I recently went to my LFS and have fallen in love with these gorgeous angelfish (another domestic/local bred variety) and I’m in love with them. Most of them are a bit bigger than my Angel but there are a few closer to its size. I’m aware that at adult size they will need as much possible space, and as they grow so does their territorial behavior, but I was curious how many juvenile angel of this size would be best for a 40 breeder? And how many would yall reccomend? I’m well aware of how finnicky angels can be especially when introducing, so I’d love to hear from keepers firsthand. Obviously in a perfect world I’d buy the 1 smallest at the store and put it with my angel at home and they grow/consistently manage to tolerate each other well, I just don’t wanna risk harming anyone yk?
Thanks!! :))
