the male missed the first five eggs and 3 minutes later they had been eaten.then for quite some time the female would pass over the tank side ( not laying) and the male would also pass some distance away doing his job!

im relaxed in the fact that the eggs are now eaten and they can carry on with their fry for a bit longer.
