🐠 Fresh Spawn Drop — Let’s Talk Angelfish Eggs
We’ve got a new batch of angelfish eggs, so this is the perfect time to break down what you’re actually looking at and what matters in these first 48 hours. Angelfish eggs should look firm, translucent, and lightly amber when they’re healthy. Over the next day or two, you’ll start seeing the first signs of development — tiny dark dots forming inside each egg. That’s the embryo beginning to take shape. A few things to watch for early on: • White eggs → infertile or fungus • Clear, firm eggs → healthy and developing • Parents fanning → good sign they’re doing their job • No movement yet → totally normal at this stage This is one of the most exciting parts of the hobby because everything that happens next — wigglers, free‑swimmers, survival rate — starts right here. If you’ve got your own spawn going, drop a photo or update in the comments. If you’re new to breeding, ask anything. This community is here to help you learn the process step by step. Let’s grow some healthy fry together.

Hello New Skoolers! 👋
Welcome to the community. If you’re new here, I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and offer some support. This is my second Skool account, and I’ve spent a good amount of time learning how the platform works and how to navigate it effectively. Starting out in a new community can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to understand the structure, tools, and best practices. As a coach, I’m here to help make that process easier for you. If you need guidance, clarity, or support as you get started, don’t hesitate to reach out. You don’t have to figure everything out alone. I’m always happy to help answer questions, share insights, and point you in the right direction so you can move forward with confidence. If you’d like to connect with me directly, you can reach me through the links below: Telegram: https://t.me/Arianna_digital_solutions WhatsApp: https://wa.me/19892852799 Welcome once again, and wishing you success as you begin your journey here! 🚀

Welcome to the 480 Desert Aquatics community — I’m Mike, and I’m pumped you’re here.
I started this space because the aquarium hobby deserves more real education, more transparency, and more people who actually care about doing things the right way. If you’ve followed my breeding updates, genetics breakdowns, or the day‑to‑day chaos of raising angelfish in the desert, this is where all of that gets organized, expanded, and taken to the next level. This community is for hobbyists who want to learn, ask questions, share wins, troubleshoot problems, and grow together. Whether you’re brand new or deep into breeding, you’re in the right place. Jump in, introduce yourself, and let’s build something special here. Glad to have you in the desert with me. 🌵
