Angel fish egg question, Im not sure they are fertile ?
Hi,
So my angelfish had eggs yesterday sometime in the after noon. About 24 hrs ago. They are the only fish in the tank and have been taking care of the eggs very well but I have noticed that a few (maybe 4-7 of the hundred eggs) are now white? I have heard that if the eggs turn white they are not fertile, But sense only a few look like this I was thinking maybe they where just bad eggs? This pair of Angels where not a breeding pair so I am not sure if the male even fertilized them. The male is over 2 and HUGE and the female is almost one and appropriate size for that age (small next to male) They never swam together before I got rid of the other angels in the tank. The male just spent all his time fighting with the other large male in the tank. Will these angels be a breeding pair now that they have had a clutch of eggs? They both care for the eggs and work together well!
If they are fertile they should grow eyes and hatch if there unfertilized they stay white and go moldy pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
Sounds like you have a breeding pair of angel fish are those the only pair of angels you have in the tank

Fertilized eggs will be a deep amber/brown color, while unfertilized eggs will turn white. It's very possible that a handful of eggs were either not fertilized or weren't viable to begin with. If the angels are good parents, they'll likely eat the unfertilized eggs before they begin to fungus (to keep the fungus from spreading to good eggs).

These eggs have been fertilized: http://danandsuzanne.com/photogallery/an…
Several unfertile, (white,) amongst the fertile, (transparent,) eggs are normal. The Angelfish will often remove them, but not always.
Female Angelfish are do not require a male in order to lay eggs, but if after 24 hours the majority of the eggs are still fertile, you've likely got a m/f pair. If the eggs still look good after 48 hours, you can be sure of it. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
If you hope to successfully raise the fry, you'll likely need to modify your aquarium, or move the Parents/eggs to another tank. (Some people suggest moving only the eggs, but it has been my experience that the parents are far better caregivers than we are.)
The breeding tank needs to be bare bottomed, (fry get stuck in gravel,) and equipped with a sponge filter. (Fry get sucked up by HOB type filters.)
The parents will guard the eggs until they hatch, fanning them to keep the water around the eggs fresh/oxygenated.
Once the fry are hatched, they will hang, (literally,) in a clump, subsiding off the food from their egg sacks. As the fry begin venturing away from the "blob", the parents will often grab them in their mouths and return them from whence they came. Don't worry, they're not eating them.
Once free swimming, the fry will need to be fed fry-specific food several times per day. The aquarium will need a partial water change once per day or several times per week, depending on the aquarium and fry size. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com

That's just the basics. If you're wanting to raise these fish, I encourage a lot of research into the subject.

Good luck.
