| Oh alison, that is great = spring must be in the air (or water :lol: )
I have no experience of this, but from what I have read it is not very common for angelfish fry to survive in a community tank - either the eggs or the fry end up getting munched. are the eggs white or transcluscent and how long have they been there? I think they hatch after about a week dont they?
Sorry I dont have any more useful info for you. | |

| Can you put some sort of divider in the tank perhaps? | |

| Would there be trouble with the other angel, once two have paired up how do they usually tolerate the remaining outsider? | |

| well this morning about 15 eggs have turned white the two angels are still keeping everything away from the eggs one of them even had a go at the big plec as he is under a log very near to the uv but he didnt take any notice of them the other angel is keeping away from them on the other side of the tank so will be watching closely to make sure eveything is ok | |
