He keeps going in his corner and staring at himself ( black angel fish)

They started in the breeder box->10g->20g-29g. Hatched 4/26. Blue Pinoy (zebra,pearlscale,&clown).

I got my first angelfish 4 days ago and I'm worried. He started hiding between my HOB filter and the corner of the tank, and I just found him laying against the side of my HOB filter where the vent is. I thought he was dead! Thankfully he moved when I went to scoop him out, but what is going on? He's definitely slower than the rest of my tank so he hasn't been eating well. I decided to move him to my isolation box to see if he's any better after a little rest and some more targeted feeding.

Tank parameters are fine except my ph is high from the source. I add driftwood and almond leaves but the leaves are new so it's taking time.

I also have platies, diamond tetras, siamese algae eaters and otocinclus

(I'm not sure the gender, just saying he for reference)

This pair has laid eggs multiple times but dad didn't seem to have understanding of the fertilizing process, until I started seeing wigglers!!! He figured it out, after seeing the little wiggling Doritos I removed the parents and at this point am raising them myself ! They are 2 weeks old and when they get a little bigger I will post pics!!! I am so excited!! Mom is the gold pearl scale and dad is the handsome marbled 1!

Hi. Pls, anyone knows what it could be and how to treat. Seems like she/he feels good, nothing strange, appetite good

And the Koi father peaking from the bottom left :)

help my pair has started laying eggs and i don’t want to hatch them, what should i do?

Hi guys my 2 year old angel is acting very weird since 2-3 days. I did separate it added some bacto nil (anti bacteria meds) I do not see any injury but u see it struggling to swim. At first I thought o2 might be low so I air stone but no help. Water parameter are normal no spike.

What should I do ?

So I tasked my hatchery assistant to monitor these eggs. Will check them again before I go to bed, and then again in the morning.

Based on a close visual assessment of the clutch laid on the breeding cone, here is the breakdown of the fertile (translucent/clear) eggs versus the infertile (opaque white) eggs:

​Clear/Translucent Eggs: ~295

​White/Opaque Eggs: ~75

​Summary Analysis

​Total Estimated Count: ~370 eggs

​Viability Rate: ~80% fertile

Hey I'm a new angel fish owner and I'm wondering if these are fertile and if they are if I should move them. They look white though.

So I know this pair is laying, I can’t tell which one is actually producing the eggs, so I’m just asking for help I guess identifying the gender of either based off of their behavior in this video?. The calico is much larger than the striped if that helps. I do think the striped ones papilla is much larger also.

My poor fish has an area above there lip that is pink. It’s been there for at least a week. Doesn’t seem to be getting bigger but I’m worried. Do I need to treat? If so with what. Thank you in advance!!
