after alot of issues with my fish dieing within 24 hours of acclimating , my german blue rams sqawned today. i have a skull decor in my tank, this is the second time they have laid and the second time but quickest the eggs didnt make it. before i could prevent it , one of my bronze corys made into the skull because of the crappy parenting skills my rams have by leaving the area they laid eggs and it cleaned the skull out, i couldnt see in it very well so after i seen the cory go in and then the rams ran it out i lifted the skull up risking the possibility of some eggs still being there to look and there was nothing. What can i do prevent that from happening again, i have 55 gallon tank and though of getting a divider to separate them the next time they spawn but it will limit all the space for the fish because of how its planted .
 
do you have another aquarium you could temp house the rams and eggs? or possibly move the culprit of the egg eaters to another tank?
 
Just leave it be.. the odds of you raising out any sale able rams are slim.. may as well give the corys a good feed here and there..
