    Steps/Procedures:
    1. Set up 2 aquaria
    • Place the egg-collector diagonally to
    ensure sticking of the adhesive
    eggs. (egg-collectors must be long
    enough to reach the other side of
    aquarium)
    • Place aeration (Aeration must be very gentle)
    2. Place a pair of breeders on the prepared aquarium.
    (Angelfish are monogamous therefore proper identification of
    pair is a must to ensure optimum reproduction.
    3. Remove the egg-collector after fertilization and place it on the
    other one. Observe proper handling of
    eggs. Aeration of eggs must be very
    gentle to ensure hatching. Eggs are
    treated with hydrogen peroxide. (two
    days after spawning).
    4. Feed the larvae with artemia starting on the fifth day after
    spawning until two weeks. Feeding
    is once a day. Thereafter, artificial
    feeds will be introduced.
    5. Let the set-up stand for 3 weeks.
    6. After 3 weeks, transfer the fry to grow-
    out tank/hapa or pond
