Hi,my b/d + ringed leopard are at it again.This will make it the 1/2 dozens time's or more they have spawned.But every time,they or one of them have eaten the eggs by morning.They are in a communial tank so not to worried about them being eaten. :twisted: Would at least like to c the pair get to wriggles :D.Any suggestions,I'll try a night light 4 them and c if it works. :banghead :banghead

Night lights so the freeswimmers can find parents and vice a versa.

If they feel their eggs or fry are in danger, a pair will often eat them to 'save' them from the danger. Doesn't make sense, I know, but that's the way the parents see it.

If they're in a community tank, other fish will make a meal of the eggs overnight, especially if you have any bristlenose catfish or peppermint cats.
