Angelfish & Jack Dempsey Fry

Just over a week ago Greg acquired a six inch angelfish which he gave to me to put in my angel/discus tank. I didn't realize that as soon as he got in the tank he'd start mating with my other angel. A day or so later I saw eggs on the filter intake pipe and noticed that the angels had forced all the discus into the corner of the tank. I relocated the discus to my electric blue jack tank and let the angels have the entire 55gal to themselves for hatching/raising fry. They are wigglers at the moment, but I expect them to be free swimming in a day or so. A batch of brine shrimp is currently incubating in preparation.

On the other end of the house, the jack dempsey fry look to be doing great. They are already more mobile than the last batch and I'm really looking forward to feeding them some baby brine shrimp.
