They are pretty little suckers...

There are a few that have viewed my trials and tribulations of my angelfish pair...I decided to stop obsessing and interfering and just let the parents do their thing. I placed a blanket over the tank to reduce stress. And here we are..

There was a thread about corys recently, discussing the numbers of corys that would be happy and happier together. I gifted my dwarf gourami pair to my girlfriend and her husband, freeing up a bit of space in one of my tanks. So I picked up 2 Sterbai corys to keep my "big guy" happy, as he was...

So true!!!

This pair is pretty much on a 13 day cycle. I am pretty sure that I am not in this for a long endeavour. I was just really hoping to get a few babies for my hooman friends with aquariums. So the babies are maybe 1mm...how quickly or slowly will they grow at 80'? Please educate me oh wise one...

This is my 2nd Fluval Flex…the spawning angels are in the other. Our local Petco is great about price matching so I ended up getting 30% off. I loved the 1st one so much I replaced my column tank.

Thanks, Aiken Drum for asking! A Fluval Flex 15 with a Hygger heater and air stone. I also added an extra set of Hygger lights for the plants. The plants that I have added are java ferns, ludwigia, a cryp tropica, anacharis/elodea, an anubias broad leaf and anubias congensis, along with a...

This provides so much joy….

These are angelfish. Dad is silver and Mom is black with a golden brow. Thanks for asking.

Thank you!
