I have two pairs of angels, two of the fish came from Liz, one male and one female, now paired  with two of my existing angels.  Each pair in their own tank to prevent murders.  Both pairs spawn weekly, one for only two times.  Today that pair has wrigglers.  Our water is liquid rock as they say.  Parents now guarding about 50 or so newly hatched fry.  How is this possible??

Congratulations Barb. I had wigglers a few years back in my liquid rock water. That was the one and only time it happened. Best of luck with yours.  ;)
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Thanks everyone!  The parents are guarding something still, I just can't see what it is.  The tank is 56 gal. planted, wood, and gravel.  I will keep watching for tiny fish, if not this time, at least I know they are a confirmed pair.
