Maybe you guys can help me out. They spawned in a community tank so I was not expecting any to survive but I thought the eggs would make it a little longer. They did the deed last night and now the eggs are gone. They keep doing thier dance by the rock they layed them yesterday and I woke up this morning and they were gone. I removed the pictus last night to could this be why? Would a stressed mother eat her eggs? Also when I woke up she was on the other side of the tank so bad parenting you think?
