Another Angel question

Ok so a guy came into our store one day. He's an R/C car customer. He tells my son that he has a 20g nano tank he wants to get rid of for FREE ! So of course my son says yes he'll take it. After they guy leaves I go "Wade we have wall to wall tanks at the house now. What are you going to do with it?" He tells me I don't know I'll think of something. So a week later it's my birthday and Wade gives it to me for my Angel fish. WOW how neat is that so here it is. Now to my question. It's a fairly gentle return water flow but will it be to much for eggs and babies presuming I ever get any?



Are you tired of all these Angel questions yet? LOL

Cute setup....I don't know the answer to your question though

oh my gosh, the tea cup plant is TOOO precious!!! Its like angel princess party in a tank!

It should be fine but I would add an airstone for water movement. Stagnant water increases chances for fungus on the eggs.

Thanks yeah it looks cute now but if they ever pair off the decorations will go being replaced by just a piece of slate.:(

Vixen it does have water movement that's what I was asking is it to much? Will it blow the eggs and fry around to much?

slate. how romantic. lol
j/k when I had discus their wedding present was a clay pot.

If the return it too much I float (tied to the filter so it stays in place) a piece of styrofoam under the return and it disperses the direct flow

Thanks all.

You are going to have to rig a sponge over the intake of it, that could be sporty with a nano tank...


The decor you have in there is fine as it is. They will probably use the teacup plant or just add some slate.

Any pre-filter that will fit your pump will work.

I vote for keeping the teacup and putting pink sponge over the filter intake

air stone, and once they get to breeder size they will need there own 20g...

Yes I cut a piece of sponge thin and put it over the intake part on the back wall of the tank holding it in place with three 2.5' plastic coated bobbie pins.

Planted, once I see them pairing off I will take the others to a 20g. tank at my store and just one pair will be in this one.

So Fern you think it would be ok to just let them lay there eggs on the leaves of the silk plant instead of using slate?

Sounds like you are golden!

I had a pair that would not use slant only live or fake plants

your tank looks great! congrats on the freebie!

thanks cw. Will then if you all think they might lay there eggs on the plants then I'll just leave it looking nice instead of taking everything out.

You can add a bit of slate but all in all that looks like a nice breeder tank!

Ok then that's it. It stays the way it is. Thanks all for the helpful advice.

yep they will be fine. I had a pair of marbles that laid eggs on a crypocornye live plant but they didn't hatch and got ate...

Good Luck ..... Iam not sure what's going on with my water but the 19 AngelFish that I got all nickel size are all in fish heaven within a month.... But yes I would put some kind of air flow in there.

There is a gentle water flow from this return tube. Do you think I should still have a bubbler of some kind in there?
