My two angelfish mating in my 29G planted tank. Click for video

Observed behaviors:

- Extreme aggressiveness towards other fish
- Pecking and chasing each other
- Locking their jaws together and having a pushing contest
- Cleaning off a surface with their mouths before laying eggs

nope they were just laid about 6 hours ago. also my pair like to eat their own eggs usually none survive. im not really set up for breeding or fry raising, but its good to know conditions in my tank are good enough for spawning.

Also i never saw them actually mating, i'd always wake up and find eggs, finally got in on video with my blackberry.
