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 :-)
