Angels are spawning!

[allierw]

After wondering if they were EVER going to spawn, a pair formed! Last week they spawned and then ate the eggs (a lot of them weren't fertilized). Now they have spawned again, this time with even more eggs. They laid them on the filter intake tub, though--babies may get sucked in and I know they will be mad if I try to put a sponge over the intake.

Anyway--question. I have 2 other angels and a severum (smaller than the angels) still in the tank. It is a 56g column, 30x18. There is some mild aggression from the guarding pair. Will I have to remove the other angels eventually? I don't care anything about keeping fry. Any of the angels that survive will be used as feeders or given away.

I would just keep an eye on the pair for now. If they get aggressive toward the others, you may have to separate them but it could go either way I'm sure.

IMO life is going to change for the other three inhabitants of the tank.

Well, the other 2 angels were ridiculously easy to catch, so I went ahead and put them in my other column tank. I don't know if they are M/F or not, I guess time will tell. The sev is a lot faster and they are chasing him a bit but he is staying out of the way. I don't want to stress out mom and dad too much.

I have little wigglers now! It's so exciting. I don't know what they did to the filter but it is dead, so no worries about little guys being sucked in now at least.

HOW COOL !!!
If you have never witnessed this, it is so cool to watch the process !!!
So, am I reading right, the wigglers are still with the parents and just the parents ?
All other inhabitants are out now ?
