Question
hi, my angel fish had eggs about 3-4 days ago. And i need to know how long they take to hatch? Do I have to seperate them fom the other fish?

Answer
Hi Nicky:  Angelfish eggs usually take about 1-2 days to hatch...but unless a male was present to fertilize the roe... then they will not hatch... do you have a male angelfish??? It is always wise to separate...so that the fry have a better chance... and to save the other fish from the wrath of the angles.... dave
