How To Hatch Angelfish Eggs Without The Parents

Показать описание

Angelfish are a favorite of freshwater aquarium hobbyists for their unique appearance. With triangular bodies, bold stripes and long fins, this elegant, easy-to-keep tropical fish will beautify any freshwater tank. Originally from South America and primarily found in the Amazon, these attractive fish have adapted well to being kept as pets in aquariums that are properly set up to meet their needs. In addition to their many positive attributes, angelfish are also relatively easy to breed in captivity. Under the right tank conditions, those who enjoy keeping angelfish can watch them hatch and grow into adults. Once you learn how to breed angelfish, you will be well on your way
Set up a freshwater aquarium large enough to prepare breeding angelfish. Try to choose a tank that is at least 20 gallons (75.7 L) and ideally 29 gallons (110 L) large.[1] Your angelfish pair will do best with plenty of space. In cramped quarters, angelfish won't feel secure and will fail to breed.
Try also to place the angelfish in a tank that is tall. Mature angelfish can grow up to a foot long from their dorsal to their anal fin, meaning you'll want to accommodate their unusual length.

Test the pH of your water. In their natural habitat, freshwater angels live in soft water that's slightly acidic. For best results, make sure that their aquarium water has a pH of between 6 and 8.0, with the ideal range being 6.5 and 6.9.[2] Angelfish are relatively hardy when it comes to pH and tolerate a wide range of water conditions, but you want to try to shoot for this happy medium in order to produce a contented breeding pair.
If your water isn't in the ideal pH range, a de-ionization filter or reverse osmosis (R.O.) filter can do the trick. These are usually attached to your main water supply, and can run from fairly cheap to incredibly expensive. They are, however, effective.
Try not to use chemicals to alter pH if at all possible. Chemical pH solutions alter the alkalinity or acidity of the water much too drastically, something your angels are sensitive to. Angels may fail to breed or, worse, die off if the pH swings too drastically from one extremely to another. Ensure that the aquarium water pH doesn't change more than 0.2 per day.
Set the water temperature between 78° and 86° F
Put a sponge filter. Isolate any breeding pairs in a separate spawning tank.
Wait for your breeding pair to spawn. Sometimes, breeding pairs spawn only days after being transferred to the spawning tank. In other cases, it can take several weeks of waiting and a little bit of prodding for them to feel comfortable enough to produce fry. Here are some things you can do to encourage breeding:Raise the temperature a few degrees if it's currently under 80 °F (27 °C).
Do a 75% water change, being careful to condition the water and make sure the pH and softness of the water is close to what the angels are accustomed to.
Feed them a bit more than usual with high-quality freeze dried food.
Give them more security by adding additional plants, spawning mops, or other fibrous, decontaminated props.
Let the angelfish rear their own fry if desired.
Transfer the fry to a clean 1 gallon (3.8 L) tank with an airline feeding
medium-sized bubbles into the water. Treat the 100% filtered water with a fungicide, then with Acriflavin, an antibacterial. Transfer the fry on the spawning slate or mop so that it's facing the bottom of the tank and close to the airline. Consider keeping the tank in the dark to prohibit the harmful growth of bacteria.
Wait for the fry to hatch after about 60 hours in 80 °F (27 °C). At this stage, they'll be simple wrigglers, and won't need to eat anything. After 5 days in this stage, they become free-swimming and will start to need food (brine shrimp work well). Small, frequent feedings are best. After the fry begin to swim in a cloud, they should be transferred to a medium sized (2.5 gallon to a 10 gallon) tank. The best food for fry growth are the Baby Brine Shrimps.
