I assume that they are salt water Angeks - as common as fresh water -

Saltwater angelfish are among the most beautiful of all reef creatures. Their colors are deep and rich and often cleverly painted by Neptune LOL LOLinto stripes and spots. These fish are found in all the world's oceans, although the greatest diversity of this group is found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

for example

Emperor Angelfish can grow up to 40 cm what is approximately 15 inches. So 1 specimen requires at least 4800cm² of water surface what is approximately 744 square inch.

The Flame Angelfish requires at least a 30-gallon aquarium with lots of hiding places and live rock for grazing. The Flame Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles.

The flame angel is probably the most sought after with its dazzling colors, but the coral beauty angelfish can be quite striking as well.

Isn't this a saltwater forum...? Why is there a freshwater topic here?

Greetings!

I have a pair of breeding Angelfish, and they eat their eggs soon after fertilization. I have recently taken out the spawning tube and put it, along with the eggs on it, into a hatch out tank. This is the only way I can think of to save the eggs. Is this an ongoing problem once started?

Thanks!
