Hi!

Just wondering if anyones heard or had this happen to them!

I swear my common bn chowed down on some of his future children!

anything I can do?

I understand it can happen under stress with some fish whom don't commonly eat their young..

It could be that they weren't fertilised..

Can some be fertilised and some not?

I ended up with two...

Does the male eat the unfertilised eggs?

Just give him a chance, if they're fertile & ready he should be fine :)
