Trying to breed for red texas

[anzo1993]

Hello, after many years of trying to find a compatible male texas to add to my female blood parrots 65 gallon I finally found him about 2 weeks ago( usually all the male texas I try to add with her won't stop attacking her) anyways about 2 days ago I did a water change in there tank and prior to that I had seen no signs of breeding other than a pit being dug out in the middle of the tank, so to my surprise when I woke up this morning I noticed the females egg tube had fully dropped, wondering if anyone had on opinions on what I should expect in the coming days?

They will prob breed but mess up and eat the eggs it takes a few tries sometimes or they could be great

thanks for the response, the female ended up laying eggs in the flowerpot and the male and her guarded them for about 2 days before the eggs just disapeared, so they probably were eaten, hoping with abit more experience the parents could actually have some fry lol
