bettachris     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004   | i want to start breeding them again, and i plan on getting two groups. 1 group of 6 albinos, and 1 group of black/ and yellow marbles. is a group of 6 a good enough number, to find a pair, or can i get away with 4 of each. |

I would get a half dozen juvies of each, place each group in its own tank and let them figure it out. Last edited by Heaven2 at 01-Sep-2005 23:00 |

I usually buy 4 Angels & get a pair, so 6 is much better. Buy them small & let them grow up together & see how it will work out & Goodluck.  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 |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | another question, will they not breed, if i get large angels. i have had trouble houseing small angels, b/c of health problems. so is it still ok if i get some group of 6 large angels. |

JYJason Hobbyist Posts: 117 Kudos: 90 Votes: 1 Registered: 01-Aug-2005 | The actual mathematical chance of getting a pair with 6 angels is 63 out of 64. |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | ok i will get some adults. i often heard that not to buy pairs online, b/c when they ship they bond may be broken.  i will def. get adults, and hopefully get some babies by this winter. |
