Default Angelfish behaviour

Pray,
I have Angles that go through all the motions, there's 4 angles in a 3 ft
planted tank, Nothing else. They bugger around, lay eggs on one of the
Under gravel tubes, and my the next day, they've eaten them. They do it
every 3 weeks or so.

I moved them to a 10 gal with nothing but a flat rock (no gravel), and

used
the same water that was in the old tank. Temperature is 26-29 degrees
celcius and PH is 7.2. They're in the spare bedroom and I feed them

frozen
brine shimp. What else can I do?

Suggest you feed with mosquito larvae etc - lots of meaty stuff

Don't get your hopes up it can take 3 or 4 attempts before they
get the hang of it
The lay then forget the eggs
Lay and eat the eggs/eat the fry

Check the glass....has she laid on the glass already?

You may get some wholesale tank refurbishment if she is going in
for serious motherhood. If yiou have catfish/loaches in the
tank...move them as they will eat the eggs at night...Snails are
keen on the eggs too

Good luck...don't fiddle about with them too much, they can be a
little nervy

A couple of small waterchanges might spur them in to action
