The life cycle of an angelfish from egg to adult.

  • Hello! This is a video explaining the various stages of life for angelfish. It all begins with a angelfish pair laying eggs. Once the eggs are laid, it takes about 2 to 3 days for the eyes to be visible inside the egg, and the eggs will hatch and start wiggling back and forth. At this stage, the the fry are called "wigglers". For 3 to 4 days after that, the eggs will stay in one spot, usually sticking to surfaces in your tank, feeding off of the egg yolk sac in the egg. Then once the egg yolk is no longer available, the fry will become free swimming in search of food. At this stage, you will want to feed them baby brine shrimp, or if algae is present in the tank, they can feed off of that. Which ever you prefer. Although baby brine shrimp is the #1 choice preferred food for fry for aquatic hobbyists. From that point on the fry will grow and around 1 month of age, the fry will start to develop their upper fin, which is the most recognizable physical trait on angelfish. Some slight coloration will also be seen, but the true colors will not be visible until 3 months of age. are 3 months of age is usually when angelfish start to look like angelfish and can be sold if you are planning on selling them. Please help support this channel by subscribing and liking this video. It only takes a second. Also let me know if you have any questions. I will be more then happy to answer and assist. Thank you for viewing this video.

    I purchased 3 angel fish when they were in the 3-4 month old stage in 08/23. Fast forward to now, the smallest kept running one off to a corner. Then last week it got really aggressive with it, so I intervened and pulled out the bullied fish (Put it in a different tank…currently it’s roommates with my male betta and they get along just fine). No sooner than I did that, by that evening there was major commotion in my tank with the 2 angel fish. I thought they were fighting, they were locking mouths and flipping tails at each other and the larger one was biting the smaller one’s tail. I rushed to UA-cam to investigate what was happening. Turns out they paired up. Here is where I insert that the fish I removed from the tank was purchased with the female…they were in the same tank at the fish store. But she paired up with the other male that came from a different store (a Dalmatian) and he is the smaller of the 2 others. Over the course of the next couple of days both their breeding tubes showed. The commotion in the tank only happened that night and it didn’t go on for longer than about 15 minutes. She appears to have a belly that’s starting to hold eggs, so I am trying to set the right conditions, considering they share a 55gal with a bristlenose pleco, 3 corys and 1 black skirt tetra. I have a 10 gallon I am prepping for a nursery and the 35 gallon is homing the golden angel fish and male betta.

    Thank you for all the information. It has been more informative than anything I've seen.
    I have a variety of fish in my 75 gallon.A lot of albino korys as they survived on there own in the 40 gallon and my super extra large Pleco is like grandpa. Since I got the 75 gallon the angel fish are always right there to gobble up the eggs as well as 2 plates,and 3 danios that came with the tank. I bought these 2 angel fish since the move killed the 2 within the first few days. I've had these 2 angels for about 4 months and they have payed eggs on the pick up tube twice now. After 2 days I noticed a white cotton ball look to the last survivors. I am hoping that out of all those eggs, 1 or 2 will survive on their own like the kory Kat's have. This video was much more informative and it's obvious how much you love them. I love my fish like my cat or Dog. My extra large Pleco is like my dog. His name is George and he is my salon mascot @ A Heavenly Hair & Nail Salon LLC on Facebook. Thanks Again!!🤗Valarie Pilling

    This was your best upload to date, at least for me. I've utterly failed at angelfish breeding in the past, and you've made it painfully obvious why. Well, since I have no shortage of angels in my fish room, hopefully, I'll be blessed with a breeding pair soon and eventually resume my experiment. Currently, my favorite angels are the double dark variety and gold albino.

    Thank you for sharing your experiences. I sort of grew up with my mom having Discus and Altums. Had some Angelfish over the years and even a hatch or two, but wasn't serious about breeding. I have gotten back into it, due to other circumstances. And really enjoy the Blue Philippinos, Red Shoulder Manacapuru and Bulgarian Seal Points. I have a really young pair of RS Manacapuru's that surprised me with eggs. And a day later the Blue Philippinos as well. They are about a year and so far didn't get them to hatch. But have both of them hatch and are about 24 hour old wiggles. They are in a breeder tank, but one has a Hillstream loach I will have to remove. And the other 3 Otos. I will just see and let them try to figure it out. While I do have hobby store owners interested, I am in no rush and just want to learn and enjoy this. I may set up another 20 gallon, just for the babies, as I have for my fancy guppy babies. Thank you so much for the tips and especially for showing what the stages look like. It has been a whole for me😄👍🐟

      I made that mistake too. I bring home two random parrot cichlids, next hour has them pump out over 1000 eggs(I counted with a calculator.). None of them were fertile but blood was pumping through my veins, I was literally going ‘WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUC-SHEITS’ the entire time. If anybody doubts, parrot hybrids do actually lay around 600-2000 eggs, although most don’t hatch or survive.

    My angelfish have recently laid their 2nd batch of fertilized eggs. 1st batch doing well but due to lack of experience have lost a lot but still have a handful left. I wasn't prepared for the 1st lot so I'm learning as I go. Was more prepared for the 2nd batch which are still wrigglers and no fungal growth on them unlike the 1st batch which I lost a third of the eggs due to fungal growth and dying after free swimming. Have separated both batches into seperate tanks. 1st batch I was feeding them boiled egg yolk for about 3 days because I couldn't get fry food as I can't get brine shrimp where I live. Now I feed them egg yolk mixed with fry powder food. Gradually weaning them off egg yolk to the powder stuff. But they are thriving.

      I had a similar situation where there were eggs, and some were white, some translucent, but they disappeared at some point.
      I actually thought the first time it was some kind of parasite and was starting to wipe them off the heater, until I decided I should look it up, and realized they were eggs.😉
      I read that it could actually be two females I had, so they would never get fertilized, so I was wondering about that being a possibility, until probably a few batches later, when I saw a cloud of free swimmers. At first I was wondering what they were, as I thought they would look like tiny angelfish rather than translucent sperm with eyes.
      I guess it just takes a few tries for them to get the knack off it.

      Good luck, you two. Wriggler stage only lasts a week, after which they start swimming and your job is slightly easier(or harder, dunno). You can leave them with the parents for up to a month and a half after hatching, when the parents need to lay again and chase the fry off. Try to get them out by the 3 week mark.

So I guess they laid the eggs earlier than I thought. I was considering removing the eggs and the breeding pair from the other fish in the tank, but decided to leave them so as not to upset them as this is their first time. And I wasn’t sure if they were eating the eggs or spitting them out. Which I see from your video that they are just doing what their supposed to. Thank you again now I know what to expect. I’ll watch the other version of the video tonite. 😘

      @Nemesis0513 4 роки тому

      It will not harm the parents, because they breed every half a month. If you raise the fry with the parents, the fry will become more adept at raising their own fry, apparently. So yes, the fry get socially influenced by the presence of a parent fish.

      Weekly change or twice a month, 10-25% water change. Try to keep the temperature even during that. Feeding is daily, just enough so that you can see every angelfish going at the food. Food should be either a squirt of live microfood or fine powder like food, which includes flakes, soft pellets, and egg yolk.

    Thanks for the video. My pair of angel fish is hatching their eggs for the third round now. The first round was in late March 2017; their fry swam freely for 3 days then all disappeared. Six weeks later, a new batch of fry swam freely for 2 days, then most of them disappeared except 12 survived, the day after they were all gone. Then 2 weeks later (May 31, 2017) I saw many many eggs again. Today (June 03) they are wigglers. I am sure they will soon become free-swimming fry. But I am afraid they will all disappear just like the previous two times. I already did everything I learned from the internet: keep the parents and fry separate from other fish by using the tank divider and fed the fry with baby brine shrimp. I didn't try to change water every day as suggested in one of the comments of this video (because I thought I should not change the environment when babies are in the making). Is it the only thing I should do differently this time (changing water)? My tank is 50 gal and currently there are only 7 fish + hundreds of wigglers. Any advice would greatly appreciated. *Honestly sometimes I thought I should just by some adult angel fish because it's cheaper than buying brine shrimp, the tank divider, and some other accessories for the fry. But I really wish to have some survivors this time to satisfy my hobby. Thanks for reading.

      If you want to get serious, Hager them their own tank, see if the fry disappear. If not, then it was the other fish. If they still disappear, it’s the parents and the water quality.

    Looking for some advice QUICK! my two largest angels have just paired off but the problem is the have laid they're first batch of eggs on the side of my internal filter. I've removed the unfertilised eggs as they are due to hatch soon would it be best for me to put the fish in a hatchery once they become free swimming???

  • @marywarren2453
    @marywarren2453 6 років тому

    I had surgery just over a month ago so my tank hasn't been cleaned since just before that and last night my angel fish paired up and laid and fertilized eggs! I'm so excited, but I have other types of fish in my tank. I'm going to get a divider but my question is, once they start swimming on their own do I need to separate them from their parents as well as the other fish so they aren't eaten or will their parents not eat them?

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 роки тому

      Livebearers have about 1-300 fry per spawn(every month or two). Their fry are born ready to survive, the parents don’t need to care. Also, the parents need to eat, and too many fry means that overpopulation is a thing. They need to remove the weak to allow the strong to have adequate resources to grow up and pass on superior genes.
      Tl,dr: they don’t need to care, unlike these specific types of broody fish.

    Thank you so much for this video. I’m new and my Angels have spawned and I’m going to try to raise them- the parents seem to keep eating them is that normal?

    • @MasterAquatics
      @MasterAquatics  16 днів тому

      Yes. The first couple of spawns, they will eat the eggs if they are inexperienced, but over time they will raise the eggs themselves. To keep them from eating the eggs, keep the light on 24/7. If there is a lot of foot traffic where your aquarium is located try putting a blanket over the tank, so they feel safe. Sometimes if they get stressed, they will eat their eggs. You can also hatch the eggs yourself, which is what I used to do. Much easier to keep the babies alive.

This tank where the fry are is 1500 liters so I'm not sure how to change the water 🌊 to keep it clean? Any suggestions please?

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 роки тому

      If you want a more social fry batch, remove the parents when they start to develop a rudimentary color scheme(around 3 weeks to 5 weeks), but artificial is after about 30 hours to ensure that the eggs are viable. She will lay again after 1 1/2 to 5 weeks depending on the situation.

  • @wingerrrrrrrrr
    @wingerrrrrrrrr 3 роки тому

    I have a tank with two angelfish parents and free swimming fry, and I was trying to find out about this parental behavior I'm seeing-
    The parents, mostly the mother, snaps up the babies all swimming around, 5 or 6 at a time, and takes them back to the leaf where they originally laid the eggs, and releases them there, apparently unharmed, and in the same number, I assume. Can't tell for sure as it's hard to count how many she snapped up and how many get released.
    She did this before when they were eggs, and it was interesting to see how they just stick back on, like they were Velcro. What allows the eggs to immediately stick back on the leaves?
    Anyway, the free swimming fry don't stick, and they just swim off again, so it seems like a futile effort if it's supposed to corral then and keep them safe, if it were in a tank with other fish looking for a meal.
    The babies have no sense of self preservation, it seems- they just swim fully out in the open at the top with no attempt to hide. Maybe they know they're safe from the two big fish, because they recognize mom and dad, but it's very different from baby guppies, who avoid bigger fish getting too near.
    Is this a cleaning action that the parents are doing, or do I just have an odd pair of angelfish that like the sport of catch and release?

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 роки тому

      Angels need a basis of 20 gallons, upgrading by 5-10 gallons per additional angelfish. You can usually keep a nice 10-20 in a 80 gallon tank.

      Almost all broody fish (fish that raise their young) go something like that. Mouthbrooders do the same, except they have bigger, tougher eggs that they keep in their mouth all during the egg- wriggler stage.

    I have a pair of Koi Orange Head Angelfish that are fairly large. After about 1.5 months in a community tank - they laid eggs...I wasn't expecting it...but now, I am raising them. I have "wigglers" and they are about 4 days hatched. My question is, will I automatically get the same color angelfish, seeing both parents were the same kind, or do angelfish have other genes that could change the babies into mixed types?

  • @patrickheron5911

    Great video, brother! I think that you've turned me onto trying to raise Angel Fish now.
    One thing, you didn't explain why, when they're newborns, the adults seem to either eat them or suck then into their mouths and spit them back out.
    Also, on a smaller, sort of humorous note, at approx 7:08 in this video, it sounded like you may have said, "these fish are about 3 to 4 months years old". Otherwise, awesome video, man. And, thanks.

    How do you prepare their water
    Let it sit out 2 days first??

    • @Nemesis0513
      @Nemesis0513 4 роки тому

      Depends. You still have to cycle the tank, which means introducing passive bacteria to consume ammonia released by fish in the form of poop. Adding several snails will do the trick. Some people say shrimp, but they’re not gonna last without the bacteria like snails. After about two weeks(in case of your tank size) you add the fish. There are other methods using bottled bacteria cultures, but I do things in a different way sometimes. If you’re using bacteria cultures, it takes a few hours.

They are now in a small 1.5 gallon tank alone n have been eating for almost 2 1/2 weeks now. They are getting big quick. Been feeding hikari first bites with powdered freeze dried daphnia n blood worms mixture i make myself... Seems to be working great. Daily cleanings n water changes are a must.... Cant slack on any one thing or it could be disasterous. Any tips woyld be appreciated. Ive got a 5 gallon n a 10 gallon cycled n waiting.
