Are now much more happier since i have removed all of my Three spott gouramis.I have noticed that 2 of my gold angels are really close together...they are spending lot of time next to my Anubias barteri plants...seems like they are cleaning the plants ..the plants can;t get more healthier or greener than they are,so i suspect that something is up...are they getting ready to breed?
I just wanted to shear this with you..maybe it's nothing...but as soon as there is something i will post some pictures.

If they're hanging out together and cleaning a certain area in the aquarium, then they are likely getting ready to spawn. Angelfish spend a day or so clearing the chosen site for the eggs before they actually lay them. Good luck with your angels!



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

"Angelfish spend a day or so clearing the chosen site for the eggs before they actually lay them. Good luck with your angels! "....uhhmm they have been doing this for 3-4 days now,so maybe they just play around then.
If they are ready to spawn i will take some pictures.
Hope they will breed though...it would be nice to have some gold angels babies..i mean a lot of them..
Oh well, i have to wait and see.

They spend more than a day cleaning the leaves & maybe they'll spawn soon. Keep us informed of what happened.

hey,
Something is defently up!!..the gold angels are still cleaning the plant and they are not letting any other fish to get close to the plant.They are even chasing away my Hoplo and my pleco...no mercy
So iam hoping they will spawn soon.
Then they do,i was thinking of just let the eggs be alone and let the angels take care of it..

I have taken some photos...here it's one of them at work.
I didn't want to get to close to the tank,because they will think it's feeding time.
Here is a picture of them cleaning

Just keep calm & wait till they decide to breed. Be prepaired, so you can take some pictures.

be careful if you have a pleco or other night feeders in there as they can get eggs/fry while the breeders rest at lights out.... had it done a few times

If you don't have a spare tank, just leave a dim light on at night, so that the Angels can see the eggs all the time. Usually they don't leave anybody near them.

Thanks jason..i think i will do that
I don't think the Angels will let any fish get near their eggs,they don't let any fish at all to get close to the plants they are cleaning,so i belive they will guard their eggs really good
