Angelfish eggs and angelfish fry are at risk of being eaten by larger, more aggressive fish and are often separated from other aquarium fish by breeders.
Baby angelfish, or baby angelfish, need to be separated from more aggressive fish as quickly as possible. Some breeders may choose to separate them even before they hatch. They also require warm, oxygenated, clean, debris-free water. When the fry are about a week old, breeders can start feeding them.
Angelfish eggs and angelfish fry are at risk of being eaten by larger, more aggressive fish. To prevent this, they are usually separated from other aquarium fish. It may also be necessary to separate the young from their parents, as some aggressive angelfish will eat their young. Any angelfish that are especially aggressive during courtship should not be kept in the same tank as the fry.
Many breeders remove angelfish eggs before they even hatch. This can be done by placing a breeding board in the tank with the breeding pair. After the eggs are fertilized, the breeding board can be moved to a different tank.
The fox-faced rabbitfish makes a good tank mate for angelfish.
Parent angelfish can also be moved to a separate tank to mate. When the eggs are fertilized, the pair can be moved to a different tank. It is not always necessary to separate the parents from the puppies, as many parents protect and care for their puppies.
The warm water will help the angelfish to grow and develop. An aquarium heater can be used to heat the water. It should be kept at a temperature of around 80 degrees F (27 degrees C). The temperature should be monitored with an aquarium thermometer.
Clean water is also important when caring for fry. Most angelfish breeders recommend changing half the aquarium water every day. A smooth aquarium filtration system can also help keep the water clean. Sponge filters are normally recommended for ponds containing angelfish fry, as it is almost impossible for small fish to be sucked into them.
However, water changes and filters may not keep your aquarium water absolutely clean. Some chicks may die and their bodies must be removed from the water. Any uneaten bits of food should also be removed from the water.
For the first week of their lives, angelfish will still have a yolk attached to them, which provides them with food. After the yolk disappears, usually about seven days after hatching, the chicks need to be fed. Newly hatched brine shrimp are usually the recommended food for fry, but you can sometimes buy special fry foods at pet stores. As the fish grow, they can be fed regular flake food.
