I have been an avid breeder of angelfish for the past few years and I feel these are some good place to start for new comers or some looking into starting to breed angelfish.  Please feel free to post comments.  

This is a 2 part documentary about Breeding the Freshwater Angelfish (Pterophyllum Scalare).

The documentary covers everything, from Finding Angel Pairs, to water conditions and feeding Fry.

Wow this is VERY informative and was cool to watch! I hope one day I will find a match for my female and she can have a batch of fry.
