ill be back with them tomorrow. The male hasnt ate in 11 days now so i hope he eats when i am back his belly is pretty flat. I think watching the eggs he would be off his food anyway from what i hear they are gone now anyway??? saturday ill try to feed them and see what happens. My neighbour left 2 halfs of prawn in the tank and cannot see them today but i think they will be behind some plants more than likely sadly

i think they sulk, i went away for a week and had my partner come in and feed them, she does a good job, but he wasnt too happy and sulked alot, now i've been back a while he's happy again!
maybe try something live? shrimp? worm?

Taking the eggs immediately and ensuring they can't spawn again might be in order.
