Congratulations! This is the first time that they spawned right? Probably there is not much to do as they usually eat the eggs a few times until they figure it out.

this is there first time.......so just leave them to it?

I would...just watch and wait over the next few days. Two have mine have done this twice already and the eggs are gone after the second day....little protein snacks LOL, but you never know. I'd do some reading up just in case yours get it first time round.

Congratulations!
I just went through this whole process for the first time.
It was the first time for my angels as well, and they didn't eat the eggs. Well, not at first anyway.
Mine were in a community tank and they lasted 1 week. From what I read the parents will eat them if they feel that others may get them. I don't know who ate them but they're gone.
I wasn't ready for them anyway. Apparently mine will lay again in a few weeks. I'll be more ready that time.
There is some information on this site about breeding angels. It can be found here http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/breeding/angelfish.php
Enjoy!

Congrats! Just leave the fry with the parents until they hatch, and see if they will survive. Or you could siphon them out and raise them in their own tank.

its the following day..........they got eaten :ssad:

Aww sorry. :scry:

I always thought I had all males untill several months ago and the eggs started coming. They do it now about every 2 or 3 weeks but they always get eaten.Next time I may just try taking them out and put them in my qt tank.
