if one would lay eggs what are the chances for the male to fertilize them and not eat em up? i never breeded before but i would like to start! any answers or help would be awsome

I've had them lay eggs and guard the nest before. Never been lucky enough to get fry.
What usually happend was the eggs would vanish over night. No clue what was getting them or if they hatched and were picked off by other fish in the diplay.
