Selecting a Pair Angelfish form natural pairs, so the best approach is to buy 4–6 juvenile angels and raise them to adulthood. As they mature, they will naturally pair off. 2. Setting Up the Breeding Tank Temperature: 24–26°C Water Parameters: Medium to soft water Setup: Provide broad-leaved plants or a spawning tile, a sponge filter, and low to medium water flow. 3. Conditioning the Pair To prepare for spawning, feed the pair a high-quality diet, including: Live food Frozen food Bug-based protein sources 4. Spawning Behavior A bonded pair will select and clean a spawning site, often "kissing" it while preparing. Males develop a nuchal hump, and females become visibly rounder. Males have a papilla, while females have an ovipositor for laying eggs. During this stage, males may become aggressive, so a large tank with plenty of decor helps reduce stress. 5. The Spawning Process Spawning usually happens in the afternoon, about 3–4 hours before lights out. The female lays eggs in vertical rows, with the male fertilizing them immediately after. 6. Caring for the Eggs The parents fan the eggs continuously to prevent fungus from developing. If kept alone, the pair can raise the fry naturally, but it may take a few attempts for them to learn proper parenting. It's common for new parents to eat their first few batches of eggs. What If the Eggs Are in a Community Tank? In a community aquarium, eggs will almost certainly be eaten, so they must be removed. Transfer the eggs (on the spawning leaf or tile) to a separate container with water from the parents’ tank. Brief exposure to air during transfer is fine. 7. Artificial Incubation of Eggs Place the eggs in a small container or jar with gentle aeration to mimic parental fanning. Add methylene blue (a few drops until the water turns light blue) to prevent fungal growth. Unfertilized eggs turn opaque white and rot, potentially spreading fungus to healthy eggs. Maintaining Water Quality Keep the temperature stable. If water quality declines, perform daily 50% water changes, adding methylene blue back to maintain the correct color. 8. Hatching & Wriggler Stage Eggs hatch in a few days into "wrigglers" – tiny blobs with tails that twitch. They stay in this stage for a few more days while absorbing their yolk sacs. Once hatched, start removing methylene blue through daily water changes. 9. Free-Swimming Fry When fry become free-swimming, transfer them to a nursery setup: A small 5-gallon tank or A fry tray (a floating box connected to a larger aquarium for better water flow and easy feeding). First Feeding Do not feed fry until they start swimming. Once free-swimming, feed: Baby brine shrimp (first choice) Powdered bug-based food Microscopic organisms from live plants Feed twice daily (morning and night). 10. Early Growth & Challenges Fry grow rapidly with frequent feeding and clean water. Their bellies turn orange from eating brine shrimp – a good sign! Avoid using large snails in fry tanks; they may prey on resting fry. 11. Moving to Grow-Out Tank After two weeks, transfer fry to a larger grow-out tank (80L with a sponge filter). Delaying this move can stunt growth. Growth Acceleration Tips Frequent feeding: Bug-based food: 4–5 times daily Brine shrimp: 2 times daily Daily 50% water changes to prevent ammonia spikes and stunting. 12. Reaching Sale Size With proper care, fry reach a sellable size in 2.5–4 months. A high-growth setup allows for faster development. That’s the full breeding process! After learning through trial and error, I now have an army of healthy koi angelfish ready for my store.
