Title: Bad parents
Post by: Jdmcfast on October 26, 2012, 08:53:46 AM
So far I have had 2 spawns from the new adults I just got (that may all be sick) and both of them the eggs have been eaten as they see laid! I have had egg eaters before but I have never had spawns where the eggs are eaten before they are even fertilized! I'm real hoping this is just because there are so many other angels in there and that once they are better and out of QT and in to tank of their own that this behavior will change.

Yea I agree just group thing. Mine ate first 2 spawns. The 1st one was hardly fertilized because she laid on the back of slate instead of the front. Doh!
