They are good parents & you don't have to worry much. Just be patient. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Mike R Fish Addict Posts: 593 Kudos: 830 Votes: 322 Registered: 27-Jul-2004	Look around. Are the Angels hanging around on particular spot? Is there a mass of what looks like brown algea swishing faster than the current would account for. Angels often move the wigglers to a plant leaf or rock or ornament. The white eggs are infertile, the brown ones are the good eggs. Look carefully, I bet they are there somewhere. Mike

Take a very carefull look at your tank & try to spot them. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
