How to hatch angelfish eggs on your own.

Feel free to email me at [e-mail]
Hello guys, This is a video that I made from old clips put together. I wanted to show you guys how I hatched my first batch of angelfish eggs on my own. It was very easy. All you need to do, is set up a 10 gallon or 20 gallon tank with some sponge filters and a heater. Once your angelfish pair have laid their eggs on a slate, take the slate then put it into the 10 gal or 20 gal tank. Get a air pump, with some airline tubing and attach a air stone to the airline tubing and place that underneath the slate with the eggs. Turn on your pump, and put it on a low setting if possible. Let the bubbles blow slightly against the eggs. This will keep the eggs clean for the most part. If possible try to do few small water changes in the processes of hatching the eggs. It will take about a day or 2 for them to hatch, then 5 to 6 days after for the fry to start free swimming. Methylene blue and Hydrogen peroxide is not needed but can give a better hatch rate if used correctly. Keep in mind, Methylene blue will stain your tank if used incorrectly. If you have any questions please leave a comment. Thank you guys for viewing my video.

Hi, I didn't understand what you said/did with your air stone. I have my air stone inside the sponge filter attached to the clear hose which is attached to the pump. My bubbles are not as nice and fine as yours, what can I do different?? And is that all I need to ensure that my sponge filter is connected properly.

[@Shaden0040]

When doing water changes with wigglers and small fry, place a small knee high or footie panty hose over the intake part of the syphon hose and secure with a rubber band or zip tie, to prevent sucking up the fry. I used to do this with my guppy fry and it really saved accidental losses. you don't get much detritus but you do remove the bad water effectively. you can use a turkey paster to remove large pieces of detritus by hand if needed.

[@josephdicesare5018]

My golden angels are spawning for the first time (my first time, too!). You videos are terrific. You are inspiring me to get a fry tank, and have a thriving community like you showed. Thanks again.

[@lrcraider]

My angelfish just laid eggs. Thanks for sharing this video. Going to the pet store first thing tomorrow morning

[@thedarkhorse100]

All the years of having fish tanks this is the first time I’ve found eggs , their on my filter suction tube, thanks for the video and knowledge

[@mckenna_j]

thedarkhorse100 mine also lay on filter suction tube

[@aidaperez7957]

Congratulations! Mine layed eggs and she was keeping them in the mouth. I’m new too this so I let them in the mothers mouth. I didn’t know what to do. So I guess she ate them…😢😢😢 I was so excited, until I read your video. I’m so sad. But thanks for all the informations said. Helping to do it the right the next time. I’m so excited now that I hear your video. Blessings too you and yours!

[@tashritchie3832]

Well I'm totally new to angelfish breeding and quite by accident too. It kinda happens when you add more angels to your tank and at least one is female. I found this video quite informative. Fingers crossed

[@MasterAquatics]

thanks for watching. good luck with your fry

[@jazerlights8870]

Angels are Cool! Its amazing watching them protect their eggs!

[@lachawntugglewestprepms8261]

Thanks for this video. I really relate. My grand fish kept getting eaten by their parents!! They cost tooo much so I said NO MORE. Taking your advice. Fingers crossed!!😎😎

[@JerseyZJerseyZ]

Thank you! Ive been searching for your slate for days! It doesn't show up in google searches. Thank you again. Love your videos! They are very helpful!!!

[@MasterAquatics]

thank you for your support

[@MasterAquatics]

you can find the slate here Look at this on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/151042019172

[@cooldudeanay]

not into breeding angelfish or anything like that, but we have a few number of angelfish in the tank since a year or so and they just laid around 50-60 eggs and as everyone we didn't know what to do with them either. This video was a lot of help to me, to get an overall idea of this situation. Thank you.

[@MasterAquatics]

Anay Bhagat your welcome. let me know if they make it.

[@cooldudeanay]

No the eggs didn't survive. They ate it themselves. Thanks for the concern though. Next time I will try to raise them. Thanks. Cheers

[@petebony4664]

Great helpful video Master Aquatics, thanks! I've just put a load of eggs into a "nursery tank" and am hoping to get a reasonable hatch. The pair that laid these eggs today have laid 4 lots of eggs already but always eat them all the same night as they lay them so hopefully I will be at last able to raise a brood from this pair.

[@johnbfrommanchesterengland4580]

Hi master aquatics, it's john b from manchester england, again. I've watched all your video's now and am up to date. I'm enjoying watching your progress. I will be following you from now on. Love angelfish. Used to have some when i was younger. Love the shape of them and the way they move. They can be a bit aggressive though. I bought a couple of larger one's and the female ate all my new small neon tertras the little bugger ! And then proceeded to lay eggs. Got rid of it eventually but haven't given up on the idea of trying again now that I am older and wiser. Good luck with your fish. Looking forward to watching your fry and your channel grow. Maybe you could consider puting a black card background onto the outside back of your tanks to make it easier for people to be able to see your fish better ! ? Enjoy your day. ☺ 🐠.

[@kiwi9660]

hi master john!

[@fallriver999]

Great video. I have raised angels using an AquaClear power filter instead of the sponge filter. It works very well as long as you use a sponge filter over the intake tube. The sponges are available at pet stores like Petsmart etc.

[@MasterAquatics]

ill have to try that. thanks for the information.

[@fallriver999]

your welcome

[@casitasdelaluna]

Very useful thanks from the UK. Lots of good tips

[@milliejohnson8932]

Love this again! I am starting again while I am home !!

[@narellecamplin83]

Awesome video Thank you for the info. My angels had eggs and the girl passed away last night leaving my male a single dad. Sad sad night in our house!

[@angelfishdiaries4056]

I need this video, best information on KZbin

[@kierenboimufc5940]

So do I need to buy the green slate to put the eggs on as mine have already laid on the wall of my internal filter

[@PsychoBillyNiki]

This video helped me finally hatch some angels! Thank you!

[@MasterAquatics]

Let me know if this helps! :)

[@javlaboss8353]

YES IT DID😍

[@javlaboss8353]

THANK U!

[@kerryannsingh]

Awesome. I got my first batch of egg yesterday.

[@MasterAquatics]

kerryann Singh thats great. let me know how it goes.

[@kerryannsingh]

will do😊

[@panoh1238]

ah old great vid even if it is old just wanna remember the good old days

[@krakentoy8961]

Thanks for everything 😘

[@lisamoretti5065]

I very much enjoyed your instructional video on angle fish breeding....thank you...

[@davidanderson6526]

new here cool stuff to learn just found some eggs in my tank. got to learn about it.

[@shantanumathur1059]

What Do you feed the fry and when did u start feeding .

[@Darkmx12]

You can start feeding them in day 8 that’s when they start to swim you feed them baby brine shrimp

[@captainedc]

My orange Angel fish just layed eggs and Ive had her about 2 or 3 years with no other Angel Fish. I immediately seperated the eggs still on the tube into a nursery net but will they hatch with NO male around ?

[@meggiegaudin-rivera7067]

Do you take the adult fishes out and leave the slate in the water or do you take the slates out and transfer it into a tank and will it harm them.

[@ruchisharma6121]

When we should start feeding them and what we should feed them please suggest

[@TjenhartoKohar]

Can you explain how did you feed your 1,2 days old fry and how to keep them alive

[@milliejohnson8932]

I had to separate my wigglers and they were attached to a big house in my aquarium. So I just put the house in the breeder tank and let them hatch from there. I have about 15 or 16 babies . I’m afraid to take the house out now and put it back in its original aquarium. You said you get anxious wow do I! Does it hurt to have something in the tank while they grow ?

[@sheltonminor9881]

Great Video, my Angel's ate their eggs on 3 occasions. The 4th batch I cut the leaf that they laid them on and put them in a 2 gallon tank so I could watch them more carefully. It's only been 2 days and all of the eggs look Milk White. Does this mean they are all duds? Do I need to dump them and wait till the next batch? What say you? Thanks 👍🏽

[@MasterAquatics]

Hey Shelton, Thanks for watching one of my old videos. If they are all white, it could mean the male, did not fertilize the eggs, or you might have two females laying eggs. I have a video, that explains how to tell males and females apart. Also, sometimes, it can take anywhere from 1 to 20 times of egg laying, for the male to learn how to correctly fertilize the eggs. Let me know if you have more questions.

[@pramodkumargermanrefrigeration]

Nice congratulations

[@abhijitpaul4791]

Will we have to feed the babies of the angel fish after hatching???? .... Pls help!!!

[@Mandika68xx]

Thanks, it is really cool! Why does the tank need to be bare and no gravel? Thanks.

[@quintonfauntleroy]

I bought an angelfish and found out she was pregnant a few days later. She hasn’t laid her eggs yet. I was planning to place the fry in a separate tank. I don’t have a male angelfish. Does a male have to be present in order for the eggs to live and hatch?

[@marysalisbury7902]

Awesome video

[@daniyalshaikh8438]

What food do we have to give to baby fish? Will daphne work? And after how many days feeding have to be given to baby fish?

[@seekingserenity1209]

What do you feed them after the wiggler stage? I've heard you can boil an egg and break the yolk into small pieces for them to feed on but is there anything else I can feed them?

[@Xxhearts4mybestiexX]

how do you remove the spawn from one tank to another? do the eggs need to stay in water? put it a bucket and transfer over!?

[@dmsportsdebate9302]

I've just become a first time angel fish breeder I've taken as many tips from your video as I could just hope it all works out 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@sawadeek_a645]

how many days should i remove and the eggs and put it in another acquarium?

[@Clutchpearls]

So if you take the eggs out of the tank and put them in a new tank how do you put the eggs on the slate?

[@satelitesgomez]

Thanks you answered all my questions

[@Reefkeeper578]

very cool! just getting into breeding angels. Thanks for the tips! I Subbed as well!

[@MasterAquatics]

your welcome

[@mkaquatics1424]

This video helped me alot!!

[@lpkev]

Any opinions on how to best raise them after free swimmers? I can keep them alive for more than a couple days. 10gal tank 2 spong filters and I feed twice daily first bites. Wth ?? What am I doing wrong ?

[@MasterAquatics]

hi guys here is the link for the angelfish slate. Look at this on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/151042019172

[@imrankhan-hm4hh]

Do heater mandatory for hatching?.. Please advice.. My angel layed eggs many times and they eat.. But this time they protecting it.. But i dont have heater

[@milliejohnson8932]

Have you ever had one or two fish make it when eggs turn white ? I see one wiggler

[@treksterjsc]

This Video has helped me make a less stressful environment in my community fish tank, but I do wonder, What do you do with all the guppies? How did you get rid of them.

[@jessicacole2854]

Question: My brother & I are new to this. Our angels have had 4 batches of eggs & from the first 3, we have 7 survive. We do everything you and others say to do. We don't know what we're doing wrong. Right now, we have new eggs in their own tank. We had to remove a few white eggs as all suggest, only to find more the next morning. I did take time to remove them but had to move a lot of the good eggs around in the process. When looking with a magnifying glass, those left all seemed to have what looked like "eyes" forming inside and we thought we were all clear, with viable eggs. Later the next morning, there were more white ones! We have methylene blue in the water, a current with a bubble stone, & a sponge filter. The only thing I can think of is the water temperature. It hovers around 80-82. Can you give some advice? Thanks.

[@SL-sc5vu]

I’m lost what is that green thing ?? And where did you get it from

[@michaelzheng2198]

Awesome video! How do you sell em?

[@cenama2]

Hi please I need help I know u didn't use methylene blue but I have angelfish one of my angels laid eggs 2 times 1st time she ate them!! 2nd time I took them out and put them in a small beta fish tank but they all turned white I lost them all again !! So my question is if I use methylene blue should I leave it till the eggs hatch or not and when they do hatch what should I do ? please please I really need a answer !!!

[@AQUAPLANET128]

Don't separate eggs until the become fertile by the male.

[@justinpill889]

Awesome video I just subbed I did this before too it s so cool

[@ivonneeguzman1]

hey Master Aquatics I did not notice I had eggs but also how did you move the eggs to another tank please help me I didn’t even notice these eggs and these happened on accident because I just never noticed these eggs so I just noticed these and I need to know how you moved them and they hatched on the filters little tube tell me how you pleaseee moved them I just need to know because this happened unexpectedly

[@khadeerpasha9007]

I like this video very much present now my angle fishes led eggs 4 day above

[@bostonsirish1]

Will the eggs stick to just about anything if I transfer them from main tank to nursery tank with a turkey baster?

[@paulameadows1810]

Hi have anels that laid eggs I put n tank and air bubble what do they look like on day two....and three ..what do I put n tank to ensure they live .my first time and some white now look white with holes

[@liaoyorkching1118]

what do they eat as they grow up to a wiggler????

[@johnthomasriley4193]

When moving the eggs to another tank, can it be out of the water while doing the transfer?

[@landondosch7841]

Thomas Riley yes, but try not to have them out of the water longer than 30 seconds

[@RicardoJunqueira]

What about water parameters? How do induce or "help" the pair to lay eggs? Any special food?

[@MasterAquatics]

As far as water PM goes, I just kept the temp. at 80, and the water clean. Feed them 3 servings a day, of flakes, blood worms, and mysis shrimp. Doing a water change will encourage them to spawn. They will still lay eggs weekly even if you do not do these things, but you can get more eggs if you feed them well and also get them to lay eggs a few days early.

[@aidaperez7957]

Can I put Angel eggs in a incubator where the the angels parents are at

[@MrKikire]

Is that a ro water? Where the slate stays first 3days?

[@rabin83]

Heater, oxigen pump, and filter all this are on for 24 hours or only day time?

[@paulameadows1810]

Hi my angels laid eggs on filter not sure how long was there..I moved to another tank same water from my tank and bubble stone...they were clear..now white some on bottom of tank ..been going on day 3 thier fisrt that I have seen...what do I do now

[@scorpiontube712]

Nice video man!! I have 85 gallons and i have 3 Angeles fish,2 leaf fish and i big Oscar. My angels fish always laid eggs turn white and next thing you know they're gone. They always laid eggs on my Power Head and the tubing. Why is this happening and why is not hatching. What should i do? Thanks!

[@sharonaschoeller6250]

It's very possible you just have two females. If every single egg turns White that's a pretty good indication you have two females.

[@krystalcoons]

How do you remove eggs from side of the tank on the glass?

[@kell9675]

I have a problem, my angelfish laid eggs on the side of the glass. I didn't think they would survive. But I looked and they are wriggles in a community tank. My pair are protecting them what do I do

[@saleemahmad7227]

Kell separate them...

My eggs are a mix of white and normal eggs, but after 4 days, they covered in fuzz......is that normal? this is my first batch in a breeding only 37g tank. need your input!!!!!

[@MasterAquatics]

Joseph Dicesare if they are covered in fuzz the eggs are dead

[@josephdicesare5018]

i think you are right. what should i do; just have the parents eat the pile, or should i remove the dead mess of eggs/

How do you tell if you have 2 females just laying eggs or if you actually have a pair? They tend to fight when the eggs are laid.

[@Yesitssjess]

How did you get your slate to hold the eggs

[@reynaldom.caluag2957]

Hi, the video did not show whether you transferred the slates with eggs to the new tank or you just removed the parents from the tank where the slates are.

[@MasterAquatics]

hi there. i actually let the parents lay the eggs on the slate. then i took the slate out and put it in another tank. the eggs can be outside of water but not for too long. maybe like a few minutes.

[@cammydough3184]

Do you have to add any special chemicals to keep the water clean or will the sponge filters work on their own?

[@MasterAquatics]

Cammy Dough sponge filters will work on their own. But you still need to do lots of water changes. Sponge filters help lower amonnia and the bubbles provide oxygen and surface agitation which is important for baby angelfish.

[@cammydough3184]

MasterAquatics ok thanks for the reply much appreciated 👍
