My angels often spawn, but the fry usually disappear after a few days, since the fish are in a community tank. This week, I had two spawns in the same tank, and used a turkey baster to siphon some of the fry out and put them in a German breeding ring in the same tank. One of the parent pairs sees the babies in the ring, and hovers protectively around the ring, interestingly.

Nice! We've got to get one of those german breeding rings. Our Rams also tend to guard fry outside of containers we immerse. Hope you have good success raising up these fry! Thanks for sharing.
I know that I bought the parents at a PVAS auction.
Fantastic. Plus we get to see the parents protecting the ring. Fingers and toes are crossed for the babies. Please do post updates on their progress. What do you know about the parents origins?
Sure. How is this? (Yes, I know I need to clean the outside of the tank!)

Wow, this is awesome. Can you shoot another video and pan out a bit so people can see the entire German Breeding Ring? I've gotten several questions about how to use them.
