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?





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.
