Notes:
Day two of the angelfish's spawning, and eggs have sprouted wriggling tails. The female angelfish moved the wrigglers to another leaf, but only after she would try to spit the eggs onto the walls of the fry cages, over and over and over again. After watching her try this 20 or so times, I moved the cage away from her so she would use another target, another amazon leaf in this case.

In the beginning the angelfish pair would eat their eggs, and the eggs which wouldn't last more than 2 days, but with each spawning, they are getting better and better. This is the farthest they have gotten so far in terms of caring for their eggs.

I have two small fry that I accidentally let loose into the main tank several days ago, and they pop into view every so often. They're too quick, though, for me to net them. It's still early, but I'm surprised that they're still alive, I'm not sure if they are feeding on something in the tank.
