they will remain sticky and the parents will move them around for a few days. after about 4-5 days they start swimming and i recommend live baby brine shrimp at that time.

Be careful Normc when you're fedding the parents don't get too close with the food to them, feed away from where the fry are. I made the mistake of feeding right above where the fry were on a leaf and the parents gobbled up fry and food :'(. We're on about the 15th spawn with this particular pair, although in a community tank they've finally got it right and have raised eggs to the swim stage. Haven't seen any bigger fry so...... guess their part of the food chain :-\. I've been told that bloodworm keeps the angels in good condition for spawning.

I laughed when I read this because I spent one Sunday turkey basting fry into a growout tank, saw them go in, counted them and then couldn't find them for about a week :-[. I kept feeding the tank anyway, the rest of the family thought I was bonkers but about a week later you could finally see the little guys!

I just put some flake food in for the parents and they're spitting some out at the fry trying to feed them  ;D ;D ;D I put in some baby brine for the fry. Not as many as before :(
