Holding coral red

It's possible that she swallowed the eggs if it's her 1st time holding or was harassed by tank mates.
Her mouth is fairly distended in the picture from the 5th. It is possible that she spit the fry if you are no longer seeing that. I assume you have checked around the tank? There could be a few survivors hiding in the rocks.
OK Ill look and yeah 1st time holding. Very poss harrased too much. If she holds again any advice to prevent it? I wouldn't feel confident enough stripping them. Also read not good to separate her. Any advice cause have other females that the males are displaying too so may b in situation again.
I guess it depends on what you want to do with the fry. I leave all my fish in the tank with hopes that the fry do not survive. At one point I was overrun with to many and since my tank is mixed I didn’t want to trade or sell hybrids. If you want to keep fry only real solution is to separate the female or strip. I have also found that building structure with lots of small hiding places increases the survival rate of fry.
She deff not holding from what I gather but doesn't seem to b eating or opening her mouth
OK thanks guys jst didn't think she was. wasn't as big bulge. Any ides how along she might b? My count from when noticed is about a week maybe jst over. Also explains why she not eating or very little. Thank u so much guys ?
