	Angel egg dropping
Kellyjhw Big Fish My bubble... Posts: 405 Kudos: 217 Votes: 471 Registered: 22-Nov-2008	Okay, newbie question. Do angels drop egg sacs, multiple individual eggs, what? Will a female do it to "show" she's ready? Does anyone have pics? TTFN --->Ta-Ta-For-Now Kelly ;o}

I have 5 angels ranging in size of 1 inch to 2 1/2 inches (from lip to tip of tail.) I'm trying to keep an eye out for pairing. They're growing so fast. I got them about a month ago and they were only about 1/2 inch big. And greedy.... Everything I have eats like it has a bottomless pit for a stomach. They can match my kids, meal for meal!
