Yep! On the next brood try removeing the adult Angels. Apparently you are getting past the hardest part. Getting the eggs to hatch without fungusing. If you have been getting fungus on the eggs you might also consider using Methylen Blue.

Good suggestion kc5gvn most angel breeders use the meth blue. Another bit of advice that will greatly increase your numbers is to set up a bare btm tank. Let the angles spawn in that tank then remove the parents. The reason being that the fry will get caught up in the rocks and die. Also you need to go with a sponge filter with very fine pores so they don't get sucked up in the filter.
