Hi All

Please can someone advise, I have a male and female " Red/Pink belly
chiclasoma syphilis" and they have been together for one and half
years now. In the last 4 months the female has laid eggs 3 times, and
then they keep watch over then until they turn a White colour.

Thye male is about 18 inches, and the female is about 12 inches nose
to tail.

It seems that after about 5/6 days all the eggs just dissapear, so I
am thinking that they must eat them.

There is nothing else in the tank so it must be them that are doing
the eating!!!

Should I take the eggs out early? And place them in a net enclouser
or something.

We would really like to see if we could get young out of them.

If anyone has any ideas please advise.

Regards

Jim
