Hi guys- I have a 2 mature females that have been laying eggs on and off for the last 6 months. Different males although predominantly one has been fertilizing them. At first the male ate the eggs, now they have lasted 3-4 days but didn’t see the male eat them. I read it takes some time for them to figure things out but is this normal behavior? Could my pleco be eating them at night? I’m not trying to breed them-just curious.

Sounds pretty normal to me, especially in a community tank. I've heard of plecos eating discus eggs but I've never seen it with mine. More likely one of the discus is eating the eggs.
Very common. Some never get it right...

My tetras eat eggs too, it’s not just the plecos. Sounds like you’re doing a good job if they’re spawning in your tank!
