Hey if anyone can help me id appreciate it very much... >>>the problem is that i have 4 angels in my 55 the have enough slate sitting strait up and water is nice condition for breeding and i also have a pair both black,white, very slight gold coloration as of now i think they are going to be koi angels and i love them but the pair are swimming around the tank and they also have have one spot picked out that they protect. but they seem not to lay any eggs do you think that they might just be too young still the stand about 6 in tall top fin-bottom i feed them bloodworm 3 time a week and tetra min flakes, and i also feed them brinshrimp. its myu water at a good temp its at 76-80* if somebody can help id greatly appreciate it..

Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate the fact that my advice is helpful, even though I am certainly no expert. I'm still learning just like everyone else. ANYWAY, to answer your question, I have three of my own. First, if you know, how old are the fish, second, how often do you change the water, and third, what is your pH?

Ok The temp should be 82 degrees. This maybe the problem. Also try more meaty foods at least once a day

I would try Krill it might help it is a meaty food. Blood worms can harbor parisites so I am trying to stay away from them these days. I feed frozen fish as my staple and earthworms (I hope these carry less disease than the blood worms I know I am taking a risk with them but they are really good for the fish a cheap if you can dig in your yard for them if it is not sprayed or fetarizled) On the fish I had fish spawn as often as every 6 days

ok my friend told me that if you put your coffe grounds into the ground like dig up an area and mix your coffee grounds into it that the worms will stay there and they will come back year after year to the same spot because they are addicted to the caffein in the coffee grounds. wasnt sure if you knew that. but i figured id post it seeing i remember you were feeding you angels worms

If you do that you are feeding them and they might come back to get fed as for addicted to caffine I have never heard of that one in may be true who knows. I dig mine from under a rabbit hutch where I add hay a turn over the soil all the time

Hello fishkid07. Sorry to all the members of the forum. I was away for a couple of weeks. Anyway, how much coffee grounds did your friend say to add? Whether or not that works, I don't know, but it seems as if it would affect your water quality? Also, regarding feeding, I'd always recommend foods bought at a store or one that you have cultivated versus ones found in a yard, because you never know what could be there.
