Thanks Joey.

dang!
i want some!!
im looking to trade some fontosa for a cpl angels!
anyone in the socal area LMK

I would if I could keep them alive... but IDK what els I can do... maybe I should use water softeners...

they are not hard, keep up with the water changes, and age the water before doing the water change... give them good food, and keep the water at 82-86,

um I wonder why yours die what are your parameters readings?

I normally keep the PH around 6.4 to 6.5

Both Nits are below 5 if not 0.

I think it's something in our Tap water. Maybe it;s too hard because Angels like soft water or maybe my tank is too small but I think a 10 gallon is big enough for Nickel Size Angels until they grow larger...

I know they can live in a wide range of temps but I had always heard 75-82 and no higher then 90. If you wanted them to breed then increase the temp. higher in the 80's but that's about it. Don't know though mine does very well in the 75-80 range has have all the Angels I have ever kept.

Nickle size need at least a 20 gal so they don't get stunted. I breed mine at 78. I always have plenty of driftwood in the tank with angels that release tannins in the water (my water is usually a brownish tint to it). Young angel are hard to keep if you have never kept angels before best if they are over a half dollar.

Always wondered if it was true but I had read somewhere that if you kept the temps higher it increased their growth but shortened their lifespan? Never really did find out of that was true. I figured they would breed at lower temps like you say (78) I have just read that as an extra trigger a slight increase in temp can help. Then again there is so many things out there that are "wives tales" about fish keeping/breeding lol.

it can depend on the angel fish, just got to make sure they are healthy.. these are from a stock I got from a guy in mesquite.... (the ones I have for free to give away.)...

actually a slightly cooler (72-74)water change does it for every pair I've had it simulates rainy season.

Well that is why it is nice to see people who have done different ways. Wish I lived close enough to get the angels, they are by far one of my favorite fish.

if u still have them i will come and get them

Will angel fish spawn with other kinds of fish in the tank?

Man i wish you were closer! I promised my wife an Angel tank. I have to get rid of some large Cichlids first.

edit:: I just saw your post date... opps!

oops, and i should update my post... these fish where gone long time ago.. jon (txredneck) should have some he breeds angelfish.

might also hit up ron greteman, he post a lot on craigslist. he has discus and angel fish too. also equitment and tanks.
