    You can buy a devider for the tank that will devide them.


    Breeding in Community Tanks. Many angelfish spawn in community tanks to the complete surprise of their owners. More likely their owners never even see the spawns. The angels lay their eggs on the filter tube or tank wall. Good parents will drive the other fishes to the opposite end of the tank. Bad parents will help the other fishes eat the eggs.

    Hope it helps, soz if it doesnt. its all i no about

    Re: angel fish laying eggs

    Wow, few days ago my angels were breeding, unfortunetly they were in the community tank and common plec must of eaten the eggs

    i managed to capture all this on video

    the eggs have gone? most likely other fish have eaten them or the parents themself eaten them, ideally breeding pair should be moved to a seperate tank with a breeding slate. hope this helps
    Endless possibilities with fish-keeping.
