hi i looked in my tank yesterday and saw some eggs and today they are gone so mum must have scooped them up, my question is when she has them in here mouth does she look like an african ciclid with a big mouthful and stops eating. i only ask this as i have a lot of plecos in the tank as well and im not sure if they might have eaten the eggs

It is very noticeable when they are brooding. Lips closed, pumping through the gills regularly.
