Mating

In 1993, researchers at the Japanese Journal of Ichthyology began a study regarding the spawning behavior of Scribbled angelfish.[2] It was found that once laid, the eggs of Scribbled angelfish range from 0.92 millimeters to 0.9 millimeters.[2] Additionally, it was found that after spawning the number of eggs created can vary from 5,000 to 33,000.[2]
