Angel Fish Spawning

Angel Fish SpawningTwo of my Angel Fish seem to have paired off. They have been cleaning off the plant leaves for a few days now. With my new light, the plants have been bubbling like mad, driving the poor Angel Fish NUTS trying to keep "their" leif free of "stuff". The 3rd Angel in the tank, the prettiest, has been shunned to the "full" side of the tank.
Angel Fish SpawningMom, previously known as Nemo because of her missing feeler fin thingy, is at the upper right of this second photo here. Dad took a while to get the picture of what was going on. He was more interested in the food I put in the tank to keep the other fish full enough not to bother the eggs.
I am rather excited about this deveolopment. This tank currently holds the only other fish I ever raised from eggs (even though he was laid and born in my other tank) - my green cory cat. I used up the entire 256MB of my camera's digital camera. So if you want to see a LOT of photos that look an aweful lot alike, check out the Angel Spawning Photo GalleryPosted by Picasa

Those are some incredible photos you have in the external gallery link! You are going to have to put up a short tutorial about camera settings, etc so that others can maybe repeat the process a bit.

Also, are there any plans to move the eggs to a safer location to help promote hatching? Here's to hoping they stay safe and turn clear in the next couple of days!

Quantity has a quality of it's own.

I took about 150 photos, I culled about 50 or so.

I am not actually happy with ANY of them. Scratched glass, reflections, water spots, and I don't think ANY of them are tack sharp.

I think my trick is having the camera touch the glass for the non-flash photos (the yellow tint ones) or futz with the angle to push the flash reflection out of the photo. The flash photos I had better luck with the camera on full zoom.

I plucked one snail off the eggs already. Mom is guarding and fanning the eggs, but I think the snails move to slow to register as a threat.
