Quick note for anyone watching this pair: all four clutches were on slate, vertical and leaning both worked for them. Happy to send photos of the spawns by message, discusdan asked already.

PP Planted Pete Oct 14, 2026 · 8:21 PM

finandfry are the four spawns on the same slate each time or do you rotate them? mine always seem to pick a different spot.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 14, 2026 · 8:23 PM

Listing says four successful spawns on slate and they wrigglered every clutch and ate none. Per my note above, vertical and leaning both worked for them. Message me if you want spawn photos.

PP Planted Pete Oct 15, 2026 · 2:19 PM

finandfry do the pair tolerate other fish in the tank during a spawn or do they need a pair-only setup? i'm thinking about a planted 40 breeder.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 15, 2026 · 2:21 PM

pete the listing only says four successful spawns on slate, wrigglered every clutch and ate none. i can't promise how they act with tank mates, message me and i'll tell you how mine are kept.

B BrackishBabe Oct 15, 2026 · 2:55 PM

finandfry what's the pair's size and age roughly? thinking about angels for a 55 and wondering if they're fully grown.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 15, 2026 · 2:58 PM

brackishbabe the listing doesn't give size or age, only the four spawns on slate and that they wrigglered every clutch. message me and i'll send photos with a ruler in them.

B BrackishBabe Oct 15, 2026 · 3:40 PM

finandfry thanks for the quick answer on size. do you ship angels in the double bag with a heat pack in cold weather, or is that something to sort out by message?

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 15, 2026 · 3:44 PM

brackishbabe the listing only says double-bagged in a tall box with dividers, so that's all I can promise here. message me and I'll go over cold weather packing.

DD Discus Dan Oct 16, 2026 · 9:46 AM

finandfry are the pair's parents from the same line as the clutch on your slate right now? curious what the fry look like at a few weeks.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 16, 2026 · 9:49 AM

discusdan this auction pair is separate from the slate clutch, that's my other pair. the listing only covers the four spawns on slate and that they wrigglered every clutch. message me and i'll send photos of their fry from past spawns.

N NightReef Oct 16, 2026 · 10:39 AM

finandfry fair enough on the separate pair. how do the four spawns split, did the same female lay on slate every time or did they ever switch to a leaf?

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 16, 2026 · 10:41 AM

nightreef listing only says four successful spawns on slate and that they wrigglered every clutch and ate none. i don't want to promise anything about leaves since it's not in there. message me and i'll send photos of past spawn sites.

B BrackishBabe Oct 16, 2026 · 11:44 AM

finandfry do the pair take frozen foods or live only? thinking about bidding but my angels are all on flake and frozen.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 16, 2026 · 11:50 AM

brackishbabe the listing doesn't cover feeding so I can't promise specifics here. message me and I'll tell you what the pair eats day to day.

MB Moss Boss Oct 16, 2026 · 1:46 PM

finandfry does the pair stay settled if you move them to a new tank, or do they stall for a while after a move? thinking about it for a 55.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 16, 2026 · 1:50 PM

mossboss the listing only says proven four spawns on slate, wrigglered every clutch and ate none. I can't promise how they react to a move, message me and I'll tell you how they behaved when I shifted them between tanks.

RF Riverina Fish Co. Oct 16, 2026 · 6:25 PM

finandfry nice pair. do you ship with dividers per fish or both in one bag? asking since they're a bonded pair.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 16, 2026 · 6:27 PM

riverina listing says double-bagged in a tall box with dividers. exact bagging i'll go through by message.

TW Tokyo Wave Aquatics Oct 17, 2026 · 12:56 PM

finandfry nice pair. do you feed them live baby brine while they're tending, or is it mostly pellets and frozen?

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 17, 2026 · 1:44 PM

tokyowave listing only says four spawns on slate, wrigglered every clutch and ate none. feeding routine while they tend i'll go over by message.

CC Cassidy Corals Oct 17, 2026 · 7:53 PM

finandfry gorgeous pair. going to be a good auction, do the ones that spawned four times usually keep the same slate preference?

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 17, 2026 · 8:14 PM

cass listing only says four spawns on slate, wrigglered every clutch and ate none. which slate they pick i'll cover by message.

TW Tokyo Wave Aquatics Oct 18, 2026 · 8:23 AM

finandfry fair enough, I'll sit on it a few more hours before I decide on a bid. lovely pair either way.

CC Cassidy Corals Oct 18, 2026 · 9:10 AM

tokyowave if you're on the fence, nine bids in and it's still climbing. pairs that have actually raised four clutches don't come up often.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 18, 2026 · 10:44 AM

coralcass thanks for the nudge. the pair really did raise every clutch, last one was the biggest.

TW Tokyo Wave Aquatics Oct 18, 2026 · 10:51 AM

finandfry decided, putting a bid in. do the pair come together in one tall box as listed, or separate bags?

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 18, 2026 · 10:59 AM

tokyowave listing says double-bagged in a tall box with dividers, so they ride in the same box but each in their own bag.

IB InkFin Bettas Oct 18, 2026 · 11:20 AM

finandfry nice pair. do they spawn on slate every time or do they switch to leaves sometimes? asking for my own setup down the road.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 18, 2026 · 11:23 AM

inkfin all four spawns were on slate, listing just covers that. they never ate a clutch, so I can't say more than what they've done for me.

RF Riverina Fish Co. Oct 18, 2026 · 2:42 PM

finandfry 13 bids on a pair that never ate a clutch, no wonder it's climbing. good luck to whoever takes it.

S ShrimpLord Oct 18, 2026 · 3:41 PM

finandfry 14 bids and still going, that's a proven pair for sure. if the slate spawns hold up in the new owner's tank it'll be worth it.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 18, 2026 · 4:09 PM

quick update for anyone watching, auction ends in about 3 hours. pair is eating frozen bloodworm and flake and has been in the same 40 gallon the whole time, no moves.

B BrackishBabe Oct 18, 2026 · 4:10 PM

finandfry good to know they stay settled in the same tank. does the pair hold the slate territory hard against other fish or do they leave it alone once the fry are free swimming?

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 18, 2026 · 4:43 PM

brackishbabe they hold the slate hard while the wrigglers are hanging and for the first week or so of free swimming, then ease off. in the 40 gallon they've had it to themselves so i can't speak to how they'd do with tankmates. listing only covers the four spawns and no clutch eaten.

B BrackishBabe Oct 18, 2026 · 4:50 PM

finandfry that's what I was after, thanks. the 40 breeder is angel free anyway, I'm just curious how territorial they get.

RF Riverina Fish Co. Oct 18, 2026 · 5:10 PM

finandfry 16 bids already, nice. does the pair hold their eggs in a hard water setup or have they only spawned in softer water? mine are on pretty hard tap.

F& Fin & Fry Hatchery Oct 18, 2026 · 5:13 PM

riverina listing covers the four spawns on slate and that they've been in the same 40 gallon the whole time. I don't want to guess past that for your water, message me and I'll check my notes on the tank parameters.

B BrackishBabe Oct 18, 2026 · 5:39 PM

finandfry thanks for being straight about it. hope it goes well, those black lace are gorgeous.

RF Riverina Fish Co. Oct 18, 2026 · 6:15 PM

finandfry thanks for checking your notes, I'll message you. one hour left, good luck on the final stretch.
