How to breed angelfish ?

[DR.V]

What do I need to do to get angelfish to spawn ?

Same with discus ? Soft water and low pH 6.5 ?

Is there anything else ?

Thanks

hi Dr.V,

to be honest i think angel fish are one of those very easy fish to spawn, i have a pair in a 4ft community tank, and currently they have been spawning every week on the dot.

i provide no special requirements at all, waterchange maybe once every 2 weeks or so, and just aged tapwater.

i think as long as you take care of them, condition them up abit and they should do their thing!

i've had them for only a month but it seems like they dont need much incentive to spawn. they seem to be spawning about once a week same as my discus but nearly thrice the amount of eggs. I'm having a hard time sexing them and figuring out pairs. after discus breeding them should be a walk in the park.

sexing is pretty much the same as discus, if you get to watch them spawn then its obvious. if not breesing tube of female is thicker and more blunt compared to male which is pointier and thinner/shorter.

also i've noticed my males developed abit of a hump. il get some pictures up when i get some time.

cheers,

they are my step fish, i only look at them twice a day when feeding. maybe i'll net them and flip them over n check. i do that with my discus and so far its very accurate.

Thanks for the input guys.

I guess the golden rule is : "Be patient"

Angels are pretty easy to spawn and it seems most get their act together sooner or later, but a change of water and a feed of live food will spur it on.

Can't agree more with you guys.......They're pretty easy to breed. I don't give them any special attention compared to Discus. They'll do their thing when it's due. Normally, I would transfer em to the breeding tank, and they'll spawn again in no time.
