hey all
my pair are spawning on a regular basis but they keep eating there eggs.
they are getting regular w/c 3/4 times a week.
but they dont feed all that great.
could my problem be water quality,feeding or just a problem pair/female seems to be the one eating the eggs.
what do you guys think

cheers boydie :D
