      My Father used to breed tropical fish many years ago, in the days when people took on all sorts of extra work/jobs like that to help pay their mortgage (together with gardening work, additional evening/weekend part time jobs, selling excess vegetables, working every overtime opportunity, etc., etc.).

      He did manage to breed Angel Fish, but I think they were one of the more difficult ones.

              Hi Woo

              Can I advise that your tank is perhaps a little small to house more than a pair of angels. It looks like a 2 ft or 3ft tank from the pic. The reason being eventually, they will pair off (if you have a group) and will become very territorial and fight off anything that comes near their corner if they decide to breed.
              Even a pair can and probably will grow very big and like be aggressive to anything else, especially with the other ciclids you have just now.

              Hope this helps.
