Peppermints eating eggs

[Mr_joshy_619]

Hey after a couple of months have finally got my Peppermints to lay some eggs. Had a look and there is 10 eggs out of the cave and the female are eating them. Should I take eggs out and put in fry saver ?? Also what would cause male to chuck out and females to eat eggs Thanks

Yes you need to do something with the eggs, put them in a fry saver with an airstone or a tumbler, they need constant movement. Once the male has kicked them out of his cave, he will no longer take care of them. They need to be fanned by the male so they don't fungus up! The female must just see them as food since they are not in the cave.
