whenever they spawn, get the other pair out of the tank.
n do not disturb the spawning pair.
if they get scared or feel tension then they will eat all their eggs…

u need some place for your fish to hide.
Put some decoration like rocks, wood for the small size fish to hide and it will be ok

it only come out during the mating period.
it’s for laying eggs and release sperm

Male angel fish will fertilize the eggs by following close behind the female and touching all the eggs with his papilla.

Can neon or cardinal tetras be kept with swordtails? I have 6 tetras, 5 guppies and 2 swordtails, reently 1 guppy has gone missing somehow, today one of the tetras jumped out of the tank, before now they have got along fine, suddenly i notice the tetras are very pale, you can’t even see their red stripe, should i move the swordtails somewhere else?

I have a plecostamous that is about 12 inches and 4 angel fish that are 3 in not counting fins in a 55 gallon tank. 2 have paired off and often lay eggs. The eggs never hatch because the parents end up eating them before they get the chance. I’ve tried blocking off the parents and eggs with a screen but it ends up getting nocked off or down by the plecosamous. Is there a way to get the eggs to hatch and grow up?

George: since you have only small fish i would suggest you can still get 4 female swords and another 2 – 6 danios as danios like to be in schools. swords are live-bearers and danios lay eggs for males to fertilize them.
hop it helps

re:comment above
all of the tetras and danios are around 1 – 2 cm in length and the swordtails are about 3-4 cm in length
cheers again
