My rainbow cichlids and jewel cichlids eat there eggs a couple of day after laying them . is there anything i can do. there is only one mated pair in each tank. all parameters are good in the tanks .
all my readings are realy low 0-5 on all. well thi is the third batch so ill see what happens. can i pull the rock out and put it in a tank with good circulation and let them hatch.
Could you please give me specific readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate (separate them out, as different parameters should have different readings).
How many times have these fish spawned? As said above, typically first-time parents will consume eggs or even free swimming fry until they get the hang of it. Can't say I blame them actually.....
How big are the tanks? If there's enough room for other fish to get away from the pair's territory a BN pleco may be helpful. They're no threat to eggs or fry regardless, but give the pair something to distract them and strengthen their protective instincts.
You can pull the eggs out and hatch them artificially if you want, I have done this with several species. Keep a good amount of water flowing over them and you may not have a fungus issue, if you do end up with fungus, methylene blue works well.
ok i will put a pleco in there and see what happens. the pair are by them self . i can add one more fish if i need to because i have 30 of them. this pair are in a 40 gal.

A 40 gallon tank is big enough, the pair will only claim about 2/3 of the tank as their territory. Just make sure the pleco has good cover to hide at the far end of the tank if necessary.
