Anyone breeding dwarf angels?

[jeff@zina.com]

I'm looking to try it and at the stage where I'm finding brood stock. Was wondering if any specific species is better for beginners. Was thinking Pygmy, Flame, Yellowpeel or Coral Beauty, picking up one larger and one or two of a smaller size to raise as breeders.

Thanks,

Jeff

Dwarf angels have been bred before. Have you read the few pages in Wittenrich's book about them?

Also, thankfully, eHow has managed to break the process down into simple 4-step instructions with a list of "things you'll need". Their photo is also exceptionally helpful... God-bless the internet.

That's one I didn't find, thanks.

I'm at the brood stock selection stage now, and thinking I should choose something somebody has completed the life cycle on so I know I'm not reinventing the wheel. But it looks like most of the "normal" dwarfs are very similar anyway. By "normal" I mean those that survive more than 2 weeks in a tank, there still seem to be a few species that just don't make it through the capture/shipping/selling/acclimation/quarantine process very well.

Although those are likely the best reasons for captive breeding.

Make sure you do a breeding journal when you finally select broodstock (on here or another site).
