My true perc laid eggs for the first time today. I understand that most people say don't even try to raise the eggs the first time around because the parents are pretty inexperienced and your hatch rate will be vary low anyway. My question is though is it normal for the parents to eat the eggs almost as fast as they lay them? The female seemed to do a good job laying the eggs but the male didn't seem to do that good of a job doing his deed. I was able to see the vent tubes on both the male and female, so it seems like they are both mature enough.
There is nothing left to even attempt to raise at this point but do you expect next time around to be better or do you think it maybe something on my end causing the parents to eat the eggs?
all my water perams. are 0 except for my nitrates and those are about 15ppm, temp is 81 degrees and salinity is .023.
