angels try 4

 My angels spawned yesterday.

They cleaned the leaf super vigorously- at times it looked like the female was attacking the surface! and are now fanning the eggs diligently. Male helps fan too sometimes. Their color looks great.

This morning a few white eggs, but I see them picking some off. Very curious to see how far they get this time, now they are alone in the tank I'll know if the wigglers or fry get eaten, it was the parents.

As you might notice, I was wrong about the angle of light in this corner. The tank does get hit by direct morning sun.

For an hour or two, very early in the day. It will probably cause some algae issues! I've already cut the light photoperiod back half an hour, thinking of putting another layer of window screening too. If I reduce the lighting/intensity enough on the artificial end, will it balance it out enough to avoid algae, I don't know. If not, I guess I'll have to hang a curtain for mornings.

There is something nice about seeing the angels in the natural light. They really shine, can readily see why they're called 'silvers'. When they see me looking at them, something they just slowly slide backwards into the shadow, it's cool. Also they're starting to get used to the space. Now when I've been sitting on the couch across the room for a while and make a motion to get up, they will suddenly come alert and move to the front of the tank begging for food!
