Mating
In 1993, researchers at the Japanese Journal of Ichthyology began a study regarding the spawning behavior of Scribbled angelfish.[3] It was found that once laid, the eggs of Scribbled angelfish range from 0.92 millimeters to 0.9 millimeters.[3] Additionally, it was found that after spawning the number of eggs created can vary from 5,000 to 33,000.[3]
