Okay, I've read many threads about other females in a tank eating the others eggs, but I didn't think that a male would do that since I had never read about it.
I had in a previous post asked what possibly a second male was doing with eggs that had been laid and fertilized by another male. Some responded that they thought he might be trying to fertilize them himself.
Well, he only messed up the eggs by kicking them everywhere and making them stick to the coco hut which made them go bad.
Just this weekend though, I witnessed this same male go into a hut where my pair had laid eggs again and this time he had ate all the jelly and ate two of the three eggs laid and was about to eat the last one when I pulled the hut up and shooed him off. He was so round from eating all of that jelly and eggs and I was sooo upset. The last egg dried out and didn't work either.
So, now I am really going to separate the second pair in the tank into their own tank.
My husband and I just hated having such a large 75 gallon (our largest at least) show tank which is for everyone who comes to see to have only two frogs in it. But if we want them to breed I guess we have to do that.
