Species: Angelfish

How many: 1M 1F

How long trying:
Bought 1 month ago

Any successful spawns already:
4 spawnings - 1st got to wrigglers, parents started moving them, but I think they became Cory food during the night. They've since spawned roughly once every 7-8 days, (removed Cories!), but ate the eggs on #2 & 3. 4th time was last Wednesday, I waited a day then moved the filter they had laid on to another tank (swapped water between the two).
Currently have wrigglers, waiting for them to free swim any minute now!

Set up: see pic below.

Any triggers/other information : Feeding frozen bloodworm fairly constantly seems to do the trick.

watcha got... wrigglers......!
