The egg pattern does look very guardian angelish. Congrats on the spawning, and I hope they are good parents. I think angels are usually fine with their eggs and fry provided other fish don't harass them around the "nesting"(?) site.

The angels you have are they a pure strain or is it recessive genes? Just wondering if all the fry are likely to be like their parents or if you will get other colours/ markings or scale pattern.

so far they are good parents keep fanning the eggs in about 3 days. I separate them from other fish using divider. they still can look others fish sometimes but not much just from the divider gap and aeration nets.not sure if pure strain or not bought from lfs since little. but both parents are koi angels. time will tell :)

update eggs start wigglers about 98% of the eggs are fertile. 3% get fungus. move out the parents already and move the eggs to breeding box

Nice job raising the fry mate, koi angels are nice and fairly easy to sell so more money for shrimp lol.

It will be good to see the colours when they start showing.

Cheers mick

Unfortunetally i dont have much enough to make funds for shrimp hahaha. Not really easy keeping all the angelfish baby alive, but its quiet challenging :)

That little fry is cute, its amazing how something that you cant actually cuddle and snuggle like say a kitten or puppy can still be so damn cute.

I had angel fish a long time ago and found it really hard to keep them. But I guess back then as well I didnt know a lot about fish in general.

But well done :)

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
