my angel fish laid eggs yester day and should hatch tomorrow im pretty sure u r supposed to feed the babies brine shrimp and once they get bigger feed the brine shrimp whith crushed flakes( the same kind u feed the mom)also if your fish gives live birth i sugest a breeder box. all u do is but the pregnant fish in it and when she has her babies they will all be save from other fish. petsmart has them for 5$ if she lays eggs then u need a gravel suction thing its like a plastic tube with a cylinder on the end. once they hatch take the tube off the cylinder and suck the babies up through there to put them somewhere they wont get eaten also is it just the breeding pair or do u have other fish in there 2 im a first time breeder just like u but i did a lot of research the other day. hope i could help. if u answer my questions i may be able to help further

are you SURE she's pregnant? I have a zebra danio that has had a huge, round stomach for at least two months. Even more than that.

i think that type of fish has live birth (not kidding) it will take awhile for her to have her babys but when she does put her in a seperate tank or else she will eat them. i used to breed guppys and molli's but i dont remember much.
