I spent years trying to get Angel Fish eggs to hatch and only succeeded 
a couple of times. The eggs get fungal & bacterial damage very easily, 
and need a constant flow of water over them. They will tend to lay eggs 
on flat hard surfaces, so I propped some plastic pieces from a filter 
housing in the corner of the tank. Once the female had done her thing I 
removed the eggs on the plastic to another tank of clean water with a 
good current over the eggs.

It's incredibly hard work, but worth it when you see a tank full of tiny 
Angel Fish :-)
