I bought a pair off a guy who had gotten fry from them but said they were eggeaters and i need to cover the eggs with mesh. Well ive let them spawn 5times each time they eat the eggs like clockwork on the second day. So i decided to try the mesh idea. The male absolutely hated it and tried to move it with his mouth and the female watched him gettin crabby with the mesh. So i gave in and removed it. Ive noticed its the female that eats the eggs so should i remove her and see how the male goes by himself or try with the mesh again and leave it there until the fry hatch?

Remove the female. The fry will do fine with just one parent looking after them.

Just keep up the baby brine shrimp and you won't have a problem. I shared an egg eating girl between 2 boys and both males were more then capable of raising fry on their own
