Angel fish

Anyone know the cycle for Angel fish to lay eggs, i.e. if they laid
eggs
today, when would the next batch be laid?

Thanks - Dave

Depends on the success of the current batch, and how long they are left
tending to the free-swimming fry. The current batch will hatch 3-4 days
(depending on the water temperature) and be free swimming in another 3-4
days. If the parents are left to tend the flock, then you probably would
not get another spawn for months (I'm guessing, so anyone with current
experience should please correct me). If the parents were removed from
the fry or ate them, then you could have another spawn started in a
couple of weeks. I think breeders limit their Angels to monthly spawns,
and then introduce break periods for conditioning, so they are not
over-worked. hth

Thanks NetMax - Yes that helps enormously. My thinking has been: possibly
five or six spawns per year under normal circumstances and maybe 10-15
otherwise.

Again, thanks for your help!
