Question
fourth time already fish lay eggs, just want to know if ok to remove both parents, have try let one of parent on tank to guard eggs they both eat them, what such i do please help. thanks.

Answer
Hi Chuck,
  If you remove the parents, you need to make sure that the eggs get enough oxgyen.  Put an airstone near them.  The fact that the eggs haven't hatched could be that you don't have a male.  It could also be that the male isn't doing his part correctly.  Both of those would cause the eggs not to be fertilzed correctly, and then the parents would eat the eggs.
