Notes:
This morning, all the angelfish eggs were gone. I noticed yesterday that both the male and female angelfish seemed to be slowly eating both the fertile and infertile eggs. They might have eaten the rest of the eggs. The next time, I'll probably remove the eggs when they're laid.

Later in the day, I couldn't find the male angelfish, which was odd since he's the diameter of my fist, making it hard for him to hide. I finally found him hiding in the corner. Whenever he would try to venture out, the female would attack him, driving him back in the corner. Maybe she's upset about the loss of her eggs, but in any case, he's definitely in the doghouse.

The tops of the A. senegalensis seem redder than usual today for some reason.
