Whether angelfish eggs remain unfertilized due to poor water conditions, the absence of a male angelfish, or because of a fungus outbreak, removing them as soon as possible is recommended.

Angelfish eggs turn white due to fungus growth; this typically occurs when the female lays eggs that aren’t being fertilized by the male angelfish. To overcome the white egg issue, you should first understand what prevents the male from fertilizing the eggs.

Angelfish eggs are transparent and smaller than the head of a straight pin. Eggs that haven’t been fertilized will develop a white fungus on them. Angelfish will make sure to aerate the eggs to get oxygen to them and they’ll continuously guard and clean the eggs.

Why Do Angelfish Eat Their Own Eggs? Sometimes, fish eat their own eggs to compensate for their own lack of food and energy. While angelfish do remove some eggs during the process of cleaning and caring for them, some angelfish may eat all eggs as a response to certain stress factors.

How Often do Angelfish Lay Eggs? Depending on the size and strand of an Angelfish, an Angelfish can lay anywhere between 100-1000 eggs in just a single laying. Each pair is capable of laying every two weeks or more if you immediately separate the eggs.

It could be that you are changing too much water and the fluctuating pH, etc is killing the fry. I never change more than 5-10% of the water in my fry tanks at a time.

Does the Male or Female Angelfish Guard the Eggs? The male and female all go through laying and hatching the eggs playing their part. The female prepares the place for laying the egg while the male assists after the female lays the egg; the male guards the egg against fishes that eat eggs.

No, angelfish fry won’t survive in a community tank since it typically features fish that see the newborns as food sources. However, you may increase the chances of survival by introducing dense vegetation, providing adequate feeding schedules, or using a separated breeding box. These solutions may sound easy.
