Breeding Information Breeding angelfish is not really that hard. Some people make it out to be harder then it really is. Getting a Breeding pair One of the hardest parts of breeding angelfish is getting a breeding pair. This can be done in a couple of different ways. Method #1 The first method and probably the best method would be to buy 6 to 8 juvenile angels. As these angels grow they will normally pair off and may even spawn while with the other angels. When you notice a pair forming you should remove these 2 angels and place them in their own 20gal tank. Make sure you put some sort of slate, or broad leafed plant with them to spawn on. Wa La you have a breeding pair. Method #2 A second method is to buy a known breeding pair. This can be costly as most breeding pairs sell for at least $60 - $80. I got lucky and somewhat went this way, but I didn't have to pay for my pair, my father in law gave me mine (I guess I just got lucky). Sometimes you can get a pair that has been worn out. Just because a pair bred for one person does not guarantee that they will breed for you, so WATCH OUT. Method #3 The third method is as follows. You take a known male, put it with a known female, give it some time and Wa La you have a pair. |
