what to do about my rainbow cichlids

[cornbread_5]

I have a supposed pair of rainbow cichlids. They have layed eggs before then the eggs disappeared on me. The problem with my rainbows is they female lays eggs , they not only defend them from my other cichlids , but they fight amongst each other . They layed eggs again but still continue to fight and lock lips with each other. Is this what they call an unbonded pair . Also what can i do about this so the eggs survive

if u want the eggs to survive, you are going to need to get rid of the other fish most likely...

the first time it was just the two of them in the tank and they were fighting with each other still and the eggs disappeared so its not the other fish
