Eggs Finally But..

  I was kind of worried that Bill wasn't building his bubble nest as usual.Usually his nests are huge

 and quite magnificent to look at. However he finally built his nest today and when I checked on him

 an hour later,there were eggs there.Joy!
 
  The sad thing was as soon as I noticed the female picking off her eggs,I removed her but she

 thrashed and caused me to have to stir up the water quite a bit.Sadly the nest disintegrated and the

 eggs were floating in every direction.
 
  I pushed the eggs back into the nest and Bill too started to eat the eggs.I thought he was merely

picking them up to put them back but he actually ate them.After he started attacking the main nest I

had to remove him.There are only 15 or less eggs left and I don't know if they will survive without

his care.
 
  This is a common but sad start I guess.I just have to wait and see what happens in the next 2 days or

so.I pray things go well
