its about maturity. a fresh breeding pair of angels will most
definatly eat their eggs untill they develop a sense of parenthood.

you should keep your parents wellfed and probably feed 3-4 times a
day so they dont get hungry and start devouring the eggs. needless to
say do not overfeed as it will contaminate the water and then you
will kill the fry if not the angels. once if the fry hatch, they will
start tending the eggs from then onwards.

it might be 3-4 times or maybe more that they eat the eggs but they
will start parenthood soon. just keep hoping.
