My Angelfish have just laid eggs on a amazon sword left!! The question
is what shall I do now. I want to leave the eggs in there but maxamise
the chance of hatching. I have read several things on the internet

darkness reduces fungus
angelfish and other fish might eat the eggs at night so i would leave
a 'night light' for them
higher temps mean it will hatch faster....

So this is what i plan on doing...turning them temp up by 1-2 degrees
for now. Set up a dimmer light for the eggs tonight and hope for the
best. Anything else I can do to help?

Also the male is VERY torn up..he has lost 30% of his scales *is there
anything I can do for him?

Hi there.
Just wondering if you still have the Angelfish eggs, or if they had
been eaten?
Even if you lose / lost this batch of eggs, at least you know you have
a pair now. = )
You'll have a couple / few weeks before they spawn again (if still in
condition to do so), and you'll be able to research the spawning and
raising of angelfish fry.
You'll have time to prepare if you want to raise them. If you don't,
just leave them to spawn when they want and have a happy Bristle nose
Pleco (or similar species of Pleco that fits your tank size).
If you want to raise them, I can give you all the help you need, but
it's always wise to read up on the general facts of it and then get
several breeder's opinions and take it from there.
I've had many Angel spawns and I know some folks over at The
Freshwater Aquarium group have also raised many batches (some
currently).
Here's the link for that group: (and before Roy jumps on me for giving
it out, I'm not "trolling" for that group. There are others there who
are highly knowledgeable about Angels as well.)
