    Red Angelfish anyone?

    These red devil angels have spawned twice so far, but keep eating the eggs.

    next time they spawn pull the eggs from the parents and hatch them in a separate tank or worst case a 20L bucket with an airstone.

    I'd be very keen to get some red angel fry off you.

    I will pull the eggs next time. It would be good to get a few of these in circulation.

    They look incredible. I have never seen that coloration before. Any chance you could ship about a dozen to Canada.

    If you are in Canada you should be able to get similar ones from Angels Plus in the US. The fish I have are from a German line that has taken about 20 years to develop. One of the things that makes them stand out is the altum like face and I think this is unique to the German strain.
    If you believe the aquarium industry, with the change in quarantine laws we will never see these imported into Australia again, so I am keen to get them going.
    I have just taken a batch of fertile eggs out, but the male had eaten most of them before I got there.

    Update: keep getting infertile spawns, despite modifying the water to bring down pH hand TDS. I just purchased a new pair that came in with the original import, so hopefully I will get them going soon.
