    This is one of the best videos I have seen for Angel fish . I have a 35 gal bow front tank that i just moved my rainbow fish from to a 75 gal bow front. I think a pair of angels and a school of neon tetras would look very nice.

    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

    My son gave me a Discus runt and love him. I've been trying to find another runt to go with him but people get really peeved if you ask them for runts. Apparently it's an affront to their breeding skills. So he'll be forever alone.

    • @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.

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've kept angels in a dual canister tank by using rubber bands and betta fish plastic plants to block/divert the output. But I could tell at a glance when the rubber bands had slipped because the angels were all pushed to the opposite side of the tank. Really not athletic swimmers. The opposite of rainbowfish. But canister filtration for community tanks can be used, you just need to look into spray bars, rain bars, or homebrew DIY rubber-bands-and-plastic-plants type ways to block current on output.

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!

    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

    Do angelfish feed of the bottom or do you need a bottom cleaner fish ?

      They don't feed at the bottom.

    I bought 6 Juvenile Angel fish, put them in a 20 gallon (planed on selling 4 as they got bigger then breeding with a pair and removing guppies so that they have enough space) with guppies. 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.

    I have a 30 and two angel fish with black skirt tetras and guppies although I will replace the guppies they just live with them cause I don’t have anywhere to put my guppies because they are old
