These are just over a week old and have been put into a 16 gallon with their mum.
They are so sweet
Theres about 30 of them

Oh my Sandy they are so tiny! Congratulations on the new arrivals.

Do Angelfish have any special maternal qualities? Obviously they are not like goldies or they would eat the babies.

Like all cichlids they will defend and care for their young. She even attacks me when i feed them

Thanks Annette, they are soooooooo cute!!

Jeepers, I didn't even realise they were cichlids! That sort of behaviour would be something to see.

I see a new tank!!

I would dearly love a tropical community tank but I honestly have no room, unless I venture into the bedrooms which hubby says is a no-no.

I am trying not to buy anymore goldfish so that one day, due to natural attrition, I will have an available tank. Not a pleasant thought really. So one the one hand I would really like tropicals, on the other hand I hope I have my goldfish for a long time to come. Catch 22.

Sandy!!! they are gorgeous!! im sooo jealous!! i just hope my 2 pair up....

if you wanna get rid of some..... :

Dont know if i could post them Tinks, i dont think they would do well with the journey.

Aww! congrats! their gunna be lookers

congrats on the new arrivals, sandy what are you gonna do with them all??

I love angel fish...they remind me of being a child and watching them swim about in my baby sitters tank..<3 They're so beautiful.

Thanks everyone
If i get them to a decent size then i'm sure the local pet shops will take them.

sounds god Sands. i dont think i would be able to give them up though!!

OMG so tiny

Sandy theyre beautiful! Keep us posted as they grow.That's one reason I love Cichlids,they take care of their broods. Congrats-you go girl!

Congratulations Sandy!! i missed so much having a week away, gonna ahve to catch up soon

Thanks again everyone. She keeps attacking me when i feed the babies lol shes got teeth!!!
Devs, have any of yours bred?
Thanks Loz, will catch up soon

Theyve been doing the old mating ritual,with the lip locking,etc.But I haven't seen anymore eggs.Tell you the truth,they havent laid eggs since I started doing more frequent water changes because of the dirtball Plec's! They like that lower ph,and all those water changes have brought it up a little higher than usual.With all these Bristlenose babies,maybe thats a good thing.
