I have a pair of convicts in my 60 gallon tank with about 8 other fish, all around the same size as the convicts. Well my convict laid eggs on a rock and like good parents they were very protective of the eggs and no one got near them. The eggs were there for 2 days then one morning I see the male come by and eat a couple, then the female chased him off. well fastforward another day and I go to look at the eggs and they are ALL gone.
in the process I put a small divider in there to help them keep the eggs safe so I think the convicts ate their own eggs. is there any way I can prevent this for next time?
is it better to remove the JUST the rock/eggs and let it hatch on its own in a separate tank? Or do I take the convict pair with the rock/eggs and take them to another tank at once? thanks much!
