Came home from work and found these two guarding what looks to be eggs. Not intentional but exciting. One is a Plat the other is a veiled. Not expecting the eggs to survive with the snails, the parents and a couple other angels if they are even fertile.image.jpg64B90EB7-9B7D-4157-B017-2EE8591E7EAC.jpegimage.jpg

I have a vague memory of when I joined of a pair of Angels laying eggs, but they never hatched. If I can get a close up of the eggs that’s high quality photo, I could determine if they are fertile.

Don’t know much about breeding but would it be possible to isolate the eggs?
I have a little breeding net/pen I plan on putting the cuttings of the plants in on expedite shipping from amazon and put it over the bubbler to keep things arated. don't think they are fertile but hey I am just excited.

If I found eggs in my tank I’d freak out too. Mainly because there’s only a single flowerhorn in the tank but also because there’s eggs.

I’ve found plenty of eggs in my tank, mostly because there are a pair of corys. But female cichlids will also drop eggs, I’m pretty sure. Patch from FINWIN FINWIN ’s thread drops eggs, right?
