Hi Robert. I have a pair (Plat male x Mana x female) that are doing the same thing. (laying eggs on the back side of the slate). I got a lot of white eggs the last time they spawned.  I think the male could not cover all of the eggs from underneath the slate. I'm interested in finding out how yours make out.

..yup, had that happen a few times, not much of a spawn survive tho....Willie's right, it's difficult for the male to fertilize....

...as for the aggression....use a partition...or just move him/her temporally ...?
