I've been having great success with my Tilapia breeding until recently.

Now, in one of my tanks, the main breeding female keeps spitting out her eggs after 2-3 days.

Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate all near zero, I've added aeration, re-arranged the hiding spots....

The male isn't overly aggressive, she seems to be left alone when she is holding eggs...but again, this morning, her eggs are gone.

any ideas?

I'm going to swap out the male. A friend suggested maybe he just isn't getting the job done anymore...for whatever reason...
