my blue Turq pair have had there seventh spawn and the male eat the eggs for the sixth time. the third attempt I feed him about seven times that day and he ate half of the eggs then fertilized them then in the morning he ate them again. they have just had there tank moved into the garage were it is quieter. they did a very strange thing that i have never see them do before they were fighting, they went all black and chased each other across the tank and then they would be fine for a while start cleaning the cone and then start up again. this spawn earlier tonight i had only feed them once just to see if the male would concentrate on breeding instead of his stomach. any advice would be great.

If you just moved them it might take a few trys before he will feel safe. I had a pair lay and make wigglers in one tank, but I had to move them. then it took a few try before he would stop eating them and start raising them....
