Auratus holding eggs? (Pictures)

[Lantz]

Do Auratus hold there eggs in their mouths?

One of mine looks like its mouth is full of something and it isn't eating. it seems fine, swims around and is full of energy.

Have a look and tell me what you think. Or if they don't keep the eggs in their mouths?

It looked like it to me too. very cool!

I have 100lbs of Marco rocks that are full of holes, hopefully that will be enough?

Gratz! I use to love watching my Auratus hold the eggs then fry. Had a female spit a whole batch already colored once O.O wish I had pictures from them. Mine also would "swallow" them back up the first week or so until they couldn't fit to protect them. So don't worry if you see her do this.

Shes still holding them!

I woke them up last night when I turned the light on to take this video so thats why they are all kinda hiding a bit.
