Great happy for you. I suggest removing the infertile eggs with a turkey baster. If the infertile eggs fungus it will be a threat to the wriggler's. I personally would feed them on the egg yolk first week and then the pulverized massivore pellet.
What to feed angelfish fry
- Thread starter rayoddballfish
- Start date
Adult Angelfish prefer no flow but not sure about the fry.
So the fry are starting to freeswim but still group relatively low in the corner of the tank. They still have their egg sack. Should I start feeding egg yolk now or wait until the sack is completely depleted?
Here’s a vid of the fry swimming:

Normally I would wait until the egg sac is completely depleted but in your case most are free swimming. Yes start feeding but lightly through the day if possible.
Okay thank you! Should I do a water change right after feeding or wait a few hours?
If the aquarium is a 10 or 20 gallon do a partial wc after your done feeding them for the day.
The tank is like 3 gallons I think (I have a larger 10’gallon I can move them to if that’s more preferable. I actually just did a 20 percent water change just now and it was such a pain since the fry swim low in a corner and I kept sucking up a few. Ended up using a sringe to get them back in the tank. However still a lot of uneaten food/ gunk in their side even after the water change. Any advice to remove it? If I siphoned there with my airline tubing it would have definitely sucked up most of the fry. However on a good note, they seem to enjoy the egg yolk and start swimming more frantically once I added it so I’m assuming a good portion of them are eating it. Thanks!
