It sounds like she's stressed if she's hanging out at the top of the tank. Do you have a tank to move her to so she won't be harrassed? Even putting her in a breeder net inside the tank would be better and make her feel more secure.

If she's overly harrassed by the males, she may not be able to hold full term.

I never had a problem with demasoni eating their own fry, but just to be on the safe side, I'd put some plants and hiding spots in there for them.

If you strip her, you may want to do so with a turkey baster...It's hard to strip those tiny moms.
