Arrh!!! my suvatti have been performing a courtship that has last 3 days solid. I have just come home from the gym to find them half way through spawning. It was briliant and I nearly missed it. The female has laid close to 100 more egss thn simply swam away and left it to the male.
Now do I leave the eggs well alone or do I remove them and try to raise them myself?
Some call it a product of a mis-spent youth, I call it Rock n Roll !

You never know, Suvatti might be some kind of bizzare fish where the babys feed off of the parents slime coating....Although, thats a bit out of proportion, I would try a little of both.
Well the third fry has died unfortunately.
The good news however is that i have a fry rearing tank stood by and been feeding it liquifry no1 for a few days. The male has left the eggs alone for now and is dutifully gaurding and fanning them. His aggression is still there, so I will leave them with him as long as possible.
I will however take the eggs out to the fry tank at around day 6. IME the last lot hatched around 7 days.
Its a risk leaving them with him but if i remove them to the other tank I will have fungal problems with the eggs and I do not want to treat the water.
Out of the 100 or so eggs there are only two unfertilised.

Any angelfish I've had have always ended up swimming at an angle. Angels scare me 
What are you managing to feed them?
