I already have an established pair that lays eggs regularly, but the eggs keep getting eaten. There's nothing else in the tank besides a pleco, and I know its not him. I think its the male who's eating the eggs. Would it be a bad idea to remove him after they spawn? Will the female rear the fry on her own? Thanks.
 
i dont know your tank but i bet you $1 its the pleco or the pleco makes the tex eat the eggs or just remove the eggs and hatch seperatly
 
Okay, I'll try removing the pleco. If that doesn't work, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm a full time college student and don't have the time to devote to raising the fry on my own. Maybe I'll just trade them for some convicts. Those guys breed no problem I hear. Thanks alot.
