    Hi Guys.

    Need some advice please.

    My angels recently laid eggs... This is the fourth time they have done so - on the three prior occasions, the eggs were eaten.

    What I did this morning was remove the eggs and put them in their own seperate tank - the eggs were laid on a leaf of a Anubia...So I removed the whole plant itself and settled it in the new tank...

    I noticed that there are about 100 eggs on the leaf and that they are all wriggling...

    WHat I would like to know is what kind of flow should i have in the tank? At the moment I just have a normal sponger filter flow through the tank - no bubbles... The flow travels throughb the leaf of wrigglers and keeps them moving...

    Will this method work??

    Any suggestions will be hugely appreicated!!

    Look forward to hearing form you guys.

    Seano.

    If you plan to raise them you should consider getting some brine shrimp eggs as soon as possible.
    start prepairing the eggs the day before they becomes free smimming (normally around day 3 after the eggs were layed)
    Once free swimming you will have to feed at leased twice dayly. (3 time are better if possible)
    All the best forward, youll definitely need it.
    Contact Neil and see if they have eggs for sale otherwise you can get from Dirk

    a sponge filter is good enough
