Make sure you fish tank is big enough area for your fish. You can give your fish some things inside the bowl or tank. You should also feed it. Don't put it in a place that might stress it out, such as with an area of dramatic temperature changes like by a door. You might also want to avoid places with high traffic areas (such as a hallway) or a child's bedroom or play room.

Best bet to get a mating pair is to buy 3 - 5 small angelfish and allow them to "pair off" and then to return/give away remainders as they will only cause interference and usually damaged fish from fighting. Once a pair has been selected and reared to maturity, keeping proper water conditions, ensuring no "bully" or more aggressive fish is present, while providing spawning areas is the only thing you must do, The fish will do the rest. I answered in a vague and general way due to the nonspecific type of angelfish as there are fresh and salt. This answer is suitable for most fish, in both types of waters.

If you are a beginner,I would advise you to let the pair do the 'looking after'. They may eat a few spawings but if they are a true pair they will eventally get it right and rear their yougsters. If the eggs go white within 36 hrs they were not fertilised. That means you probably have two females spawning together rather than a true pair. This is common.

Freshwater angelfish make wonderful pets for a beginner aquarist and can provide years of enjoyment. Before adding angelfish to an aquarium make sure the aquarium is 'cycled' such that there is an established colony of beneficial bacteria to break down fish waste and food into a nontoxic form. This process takes place after inexpensive hardy fish have lived in an aquarium for 4 to 6 weeks. Use aquarium test kits for ammonia and nitrite to test if the 'cycle' is complete and the aquarium water is safe; make certain ammonia and nitrite levels are zero before adding your angelfish.

Angelfish can grow up to 6 inches in height and should be kept in at least a 38 gallon aquarium. Most angelfish you can find in pet stores are captive born and are raised in fish hatcheries, they will thrive in aquariums with pH around 6.8 and temperature between 75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. When choosing juveniles, make sure the body is at least the size of a dime. Feed these small fish two to three times each day with omnivore flake or pellet foods. Angelfish do well in community aquariums although larger angelfish can eat smaller fish such as neon tetras.

I've just come back from 2 weeks of uni and noticed my angelfish has raised bumps on the flat side of its body. It's been in the my 10 gallon tank for 4 weeks, and is in with a Chinese Algae Eater (6 inches) and a leopard danio I had left over from a shoal that have slowly died over the years. The tank temperature is 25c and the water is clean, there are also various plants and statues in the tank. I looked online and some people have suggested that the Chinese Algae Eater can be very aggressive, however this doesn't explain the raised bumps?

Fish don't take care of their young. The fry swim away as soon as they are born. Some live and some get eaten by bigger fish.
