Angelfish Fry – The Summary
The remaining angelfish (71 of them) have finally moved on, to a different aquatics shop, called Blaydon Exotics. Feel free to check them out, the shop looks great! I’m currently debating whether or not to continue raising angelfish, due to the issues that I have had with the previous fish shop and the owner messing [...]

Here’s a video of the juvenile I’d decided to keep. Here it is having some food in it’s new home!

Angelfish Fry Day 126
A bit of an update. I’ve got about 110-120 lil guys left, so a healthy size group, as it turned out. However, today as I was tending to the fish, I spotted a particular one and fell in love with it. It’s now in my main tanks with the big guys. Hopefully it’s a female [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 107
Well the first batch of little guys has gone…70 of them to be precise. They went on Saturday (day 105), and the rest should be going this weekend. The initial estimate is that there were over 200 fry,but I will update this when I know for sure. As a random point, it’d be nice to [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 97
After a long time away, and much growing taking place, we are eventually at a stage where the fry are big enough to go to their new homes…or in this case a fish shop! The little guys have been feeding on decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, Tetra Pro Colour (which coloured them up brilliantly, may I [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 38
The fry are now growing at an impressive rate. I have started to wean them onto decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, which turned out to be much easier than the last time I raised fry. I couple of days of 50-50 feeding and they’ve figured out that the still stuff was edible too! Now I’m feeding [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 31
Firstly, apologies for the delay in updating the blog! There isn’t too much new information regarding the fry, other than they now look like true angelfish. Furthermore, due to their continued diet of baby brine shrimp they have a lovely pink/red hue to their fins. I’ll get some photos and video on here ASAP. It’s [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 19
The fry are really starting to look like angelfish now! Take a look and let me know what you think! // Click here to open the gallery. As you may be able to see from the video, I have added some bogwood to the tank, to give the fry something to pick at, as last [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 17
Not too much new exciting news, other than the fry and are starting to acquire the slow-moving grace that is commonly associated with angelfish. Their colours are also starting to become even more apparent. I will try and get some photos tomorrow, they’re a bit easier to take now that the subjects have calmed down a [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 15
No more issues today so the ‘lemmings’ stage seems to have passed. Today I noticed that the fry are beginning to grow ventral fins! To me, this is the first stage where they begin to resemble true angelfish. After this step it’s simply a case of getting them to grow in size before selling them. [...]
