View Full Version : Bad Dads eating eggs.

Recently I purchased two adults. Both turned out to be male.

fish 1, Platinum Pearlscale Veil has done his part in courtship and leaf cleaning. The first time he spawned, he followed the female and ate the eggs.

The second time he "spawned" he didn't eat the eggs right away, but he didn't fertilize them either.

fish 2, Dark Zebra Superveil: same story, he has only spawned once, all good with courtship, but followed right along and ate the eggs as fast as the female could lay them.

Is there much chance that these Dads will improve? Any thoughts on what I could do to help?
