It's pretty normal for angels to stop breeding when they are not comfortable with their surroundings. A 10 gallon tank is too small, so she is just not going to cooperate. You have some time, but after a couple of months she could become what is termed "egg-bound", and stop breeding period.

After you move them into your larger tank (after they've had a week in the new tank), a 50% water change with water a couple degrees cooler than the tank will frequently trigger a spawn a few days later.

:Hi again, her scales seem to be all very flush with her
:skin arond the contour of her stomach. There is one odd gray
:scale that looks odd but doesn't stick out and doesn't look like
:an open sore. Her waste lately is long and stringy, maybe due to the pressure of her "burden". Thanks for any advice you can give me. I do have anti parasite food, the Tetra brand, pls advise if you think I should use it. Thanks, J
