Angels spawn again!

so my angel parents, after weaning their first batch of babies for a very long time, decided to have a second try at parenthood.
But my gosh, did they make a lot of babies.

two weeks after getting rid of the last lot of babies, i watched them lay eggs, and lay and lay and lay.... wow thought it would never stop.

Then 2 days later I had a leaf "alive" with wrigglers... there was babies upon babies...

Now they are all free swimming and doing well - growing by the minute...

Very interesting....


here's some pics to try and share....

 

hi Julie strangely my golden angels ate their first 3 batches of eggs so this afternoon i saw them start on the eggs again and removed the parents and now the eggs is starting to hatch .... as i am writing hehehe im so glad i removed them in time
take care Leslie

 

hey those pics look awesome!

congrats and goodluck with the fry

 

trying to snap the babies all along the glass or the water level, but not having much luck.

will post more soon

 

Wow! That's a lot! Congrats!

 

Nice Julie you must be such a proud grandmother.

 

Nice Juls!!

What are you feeding the newly free swimming fry?

Andrew

 

Hi


Thanks All
@ andrew I am feeding brine shrimp.

 

Tks Juls

At what age do you start supplementing powder food?

Andrew

 

hey andrew
in +- 2 - 3 weeks time

 

Tks Julie

Do you wean them off the brineshrimp completely and if so at what age?

I have 5 pairs of angels on their second spawn and the first batch are 3 weeks old tomorrow.

All your help will be appreciated.

Andrew

 

My word...the bottom is going to fall out the Angel market!

 

What is the reasoning of feeding brine shrimp to the fry. I have feed different flake foods and just simply crushed it super fine

 

@ phishman - yeah after approx 2-3 weeks you can wean them off completely

@ Hitman - the BS is more nutritious and i thinks easier to eat for them. maybe the fact that its alive and moving also helps to teach them to eat it... Not sure

 

+-2 months later and i have had to move the babies out of the main tank, into a smaller tank.
so i counted them as i caught them and guess how many.......:wondering:

122....little baby angels

:amazed::amazed:

i still think that is a lot - even at this stage - im sure a lot has died since they were wrigglers...

 

Jip that is a lot.

Sold my fry a while back and had 184 after a few also died.

But can you imagine how many of those little fry would actually survive
in the amazon? No wonder they lay so many eggs.
