Breeding Tropical Fish In An Easy Way

Angelfish are very popular among tropical fish

. In order to be qualified as an experienced fish breeder, you should be familiar with the breeding method used with angelfish. In fact, they are very easy to breed and you don't need to provide much care for this species.

Angelfish can have many colors: silvers, blushers and leopards are just some of the most popular types. You can feed only this species in your tank and still have a tank full of diverse colored fish.

For a tank of 33 gallons, you should house about six juveniles. The bottom should be left bare with no decoration. The pH level is 7 and the temperature should be set at 80f. There are many kinds of food you can use to feed angels: bloodworms, flakes and beef heart mixture.

When they have grown 6 to 8 months old, they begin their mating process. Some pair may pick their own territory and start defending it if there is another fish in the area. If you are sure that your fish have paired, you should remove them from the tank and then move them to another tank. The tank for the mating pair should be no more than 20 gallons and should have an acceptable spawning site.

Eighty-two degrees is the ideal temperature for breeding. You should see the belly of one of your angels to swell in about five to eight days. This is your female. The papilla should emerge on both of your angels. The papilla of the male is smaller than that of the female. The laying process takes place in just a few days and from now on you should not cause any distraction.

Prepare a notebook and take note which one lays eggs and which one fertilizes. Once the eggs turn white, you can be sure that the spawning process has been successful. If it has not, you should try again until you succeed.

The parents should be left with the fry for the first few days to tend it. The eggs will take about two to three days to hatch. This depends on the temperature of your tank. The newly hatched fry first wiggle for a few days and then freely swim throughout the tank. You can begin feeding the fry with micro worms.

The parents can stay with their fry for the first few days. After that, remove them and begin the process again. Angelfish may be quite demanding therefore you should be patient and try different breeding methods. Being one of the most tropical fish, angelfish will surely add something to your tank.
