very cool...
feed them of course..well what will they do once the babies become free swimmers?
haha hypothetically huh? lol I put a tank divider in the tank to seperate the other fish from the mom, dad and babies.will good parents protect their eggs and wigglers from such threats as a red leopard cactus pleco? just, um, y'know... hypothetically...
well i could put the breeder net on the other side of the tank divider...but would the other fish on the other side of the tank mess with them? Ive got rainbows on the other side.A friend of mine, who is starting to breed angels, tried putting wigglers in a breeder net and it didn't work out so well for her. The parents tried to suck the fry through the netting and it ended up killing them.
Not sure Rach... but unless you REALLY have your heart set on raising out some angels, I would just give the parents a few tries on their own. So many angels are raised by airstones and human intervention that the "parenting" instinct of fanning and protecting the eggs has started to fade from many strains - so it's really nice to see good parents!...but would the other fish on the other side of the tank mess with them?
also, once the "sticky" stuff on the wrigglers wears out, will the babies already be in free swimming mode?
