Angels Not Eating Their Eggs! -
01-04-2008, 08:45 PM
Have a 125gal planted tank. A pair of angelfish have laid a bunch of eggs (may 300 ?) and have not eaten them!
The parent pair have aggressively kept away all other tank residents.
Now there are about 30-50 eggs left with little wiggling tails, eyes a little sacks.
That not the end of it. Now this last bunch has been transferred, by taking them in their mouth and sticking them to a Vallisneria leaf!
Since the eggs developed tails they were constantly falling off the glass-cleaning- magnet, where they were first laid, and quickly the father (or mother) takes each in their mouth and spits it back unto the surface. Sometimes repeating this until they stick .
At first I thought they were eating them.
I guess they are going to die for lack of something to feed on.
Anybody with similar?
