    In my aquarium I only have half my tank planted, the other half is for swimming space and it offers a different terrain for them, just one nice drift wood decor, the fish love the idea, you can see it in their faces, they would all hang out on one side then the other, I have angel fish, tetras, silver dollars, loach, and cat fish

I'll have to listen again with my eyes shut to save my angel fish from starving to death. It's a good thing this video wasn't advice on how to land a plane in an emergency, otherwise, I would have crashed.

    • @ohrats731
      @ohrats731 4 роки тому +13

      Yeah I was watching Aquarium Co-op and Dean was talking about his fish breeding. He culls really heavily because he wants to produce the best possible fish and I believe he euthanizes the culls. If I were to breed fish I’d want to give my subpar fish to people who don’t mind and aren’t going to breed or show them. But I understand that professional breeders want to have a reputation for only stellar fish....

    • @liamcooper6721
      @liamcooper6721 2 роки тому

      1. 26 - 28 (78 - 82)
      2. once you have eggs or fry, don't. not until they are fully formed free simmers then 10% ever 4 days with aged water not water you just treated. honestly I never did water changes as my plants could keep up with the bio load of my fish (high tech planted tank). Also I didn't get angels to breed, it was a side effect.

    I have 3 angel fish. I added to my 55g that already had 3 Buenos Aries, 2 black skirt tetras, and 5 Cory's. (Snails too, lol) All do very well together. My angels are getting huge. Which makes me happy. Anyhow, would putting guppies and mollies in actually be safe?. I know its mentioned in your other video, but size wise and temperaments, makes me hesitant. I have 5 total tanks, i have fish from loaches to guppies, frogs, danio and more.... thought?

    I have tried to breed angelfish, and mine would spawn and all, I saw wigglers (so darn cute!), and the daddy would move them around from place to place once in a while.... but eventually they would all get eaten by the other fish :( Do you move the eggs to another tank every time?? What am I doing wrong??? They are so beautiful!! I have a 90 gallon tank, and I am thinking about converting it into an Angel Fish maternity ward! LOL I just would like to have like two couples, and then increase their numbers naturally by letting them breed.

  • @fplhoneybadger8672
    @fplhoneybadger8672 4 місяці тому

    Useful advice. Had 4 fish for around 2 years. Two smaller ones died within 2 weeks of each other and then the pair (who have produced egss 3 times but never fertilized) suddenly had big bust up, now smaller one swims face down in substrate and seems bloated. Seemed to be getting picked on by larger fish, so separated them, and then gave high quality food, green beans, blanched peas, spirulina etc only but still seems bloated and swims face on bottom of spare tank a lot of the time. Tried Epsom salts, garlic and more but still has this almost defeated aspect. It keeps going and if I sneak a peek it seems to swim happily about but then goes back to swimming face down. A bit strange.

    Does feeding a variety count if you mix it all together? Lol I mix community and spirulina flakes together and feed that 3-4 days a week. Well I guess I do still switch it up because then I feed a day of repashy “jerky” for the catfish, a day of frozen daphnia, no feed day, repeat. I just mix my flakes 🤷‍♀️ I’m also testing out trying to keep the flakes fresher and cheaper by buying in bulk, freezing the large jars, and then keeping out tiny containers that I can refill after a few weeks

The aquarium had been running with guppies for over 2 months within a week of putting in the Angel fish all 6 died + 2 Guppies after Angels. I have no idea why some started swimming upside down others just seemed lethargic, the first two who died didn't make it thru the first night. want to buy more? What should I really look out for or have in aquarium? PH 7.4 temp around 28 C No Ammonia or Nitrite very low reading of Nitrate after the Angels died. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.
