I have some questions, I recently had 2 female holding egg for total of 3 times within 3 months. First one is a 7'' female successfully holding for almost 3 weeks in a seperate tank and got 27 of fry. Two weeks later one of 10'' female showing holding but seems all other 5 females start poking her by mouth and chasing her all day long. The 5th day seems she does not have any egg anymore. Are they stealing eggs out from mouth?
Question number 2, three days ago, I believe the same 7'' female is holding eggs again. I was first wondering how can she holding again, it's about only 2 month after her first holding, so I try to look at her and make sure she really have egg inside her mouth. Finally, yes, confirmed she got full mouth of eggs. So, for safty I took her out from main tank and this afternoon, which is 2 days after I took her out from main tank, I saw she is playing sand and tumble egg at same time. I start worry... One hour later I saw her mouth is open and all eggs are gone ... Does it possible a holding female forgot she is holding?
