So i have a tank with 2 angel fish and several other species. I believe i have a m and a f angelfish. The female always lays eggs, but then they always eat them. How could i go about successfully spawning these eggs?

You need to separate them, look into breeder tanks, they allow the eggs to be laid and fertilized without the fish being able to eat them
***glad to be of assistance

What you wanna do is overfeed them.
Ya know how you get that really full fat feeling and you can't stomach anything else??
They won't be able to eat the eggs.
Or you could try training them, you lousy fish owner.
My fish know not to fuck with their eggs.

From time to time a pair will simply just eat the eggs. Most times when they eat there eggs tho its cause something scared them. There very easy to disturb once the eggs are laid. Your best bet would be to either remove the eggs or the fish to another tank. Bit with that the water has to be identical in every aspect. Once the eggs are laid try covering outside of tank with paper just the sides need to be covered. Angel fish are very easy to breed and usually raise there own young.
-------------------- Alright then, picture this if you will: 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" post, just outside of Area 51. Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping... Holy fucking shit!

just the eggs, if you catch the female before she spawns then drop her in the net until the eggs are dumped and as soon as you see the eggs pull her out

I haven't read the rest of this thread, so i apologize if i'm repeating. Let me start by saying that I service and install aquariums as my job, and have done so for 2 years. In addition, I have been a hobbyist for 6 years, specializing in new world cichlids (which angels are a species of). I breed green terrors. Like most new world cichlids, it is not uncommon for a young angel pair to eat their own eggs on the first 3-5 tries. Think of them as practice runs. As the fish mature, they get better at the whole process. Angels will eat the eggs if there is too much action in the tank from other species that could eat the eggs or fry. If you have a big pleco, or a crayfish this could be what's spooking them. In addition, it is not uncommon for some eggs to get fungus. The female should eat these eggs so that it won't spread to the healthy ones. you'll know which ones they are because they will turn a markedly different color than the rest of the eggs(opaque,white). Angels, like many new world cichlids, are great parents, and i don't recommend separating them from the eggs, but if you have to, remove the eggs to a separate tank with air powered filtration(sponge filter), and treat the water with methylene blue to prevent(minimize) fungal infection.

idea Raise guppies as feeders in extra tank.
place surplus guppy frie in with Angels.
Angels will be too happy hunting to disturb their eggs.
Place perpendicular glass rods in Angel tank to mimic waterlily stems and provide extra terrain for the Angels to hunt around.

No problem. Also, i should mention that treatment of eggs with methyline blue, while common practice, may be linked with higher incidence of infertility in the fry thus produced. If one of your pair is sterile, that might be why they keep eating the eggs.
