    Use artificial hatching. Take the parents out and put the driftwood slanting. Then put airstone below the driftwood. After hatching, they'll need the parent's slime to survive.
    From here, i dun know liao but i think you can put the parents back

    mariner, it is always good to have the fries parent raise because artifical raise fries usually weak and they might not b able to take care of their fries when they are mature. There are few reasons why the parent eat their spwan. The parent find their eggs unable to hatch or not healthy, the parent feel the water condition not suitable for their fries, the parent are frightened etc. I have a pair of eggs eater before so, I put wire mess to cover the eggs once they are spwan to prevent the parent from eating the eggs. I think this is the most common use method. U can also use the plastic mesh that sold commonly in any shopping mart. Wish u good luck.

    Sky Devil, if use your method, I don't think the parents will ever accept the fries.

    Parents eat for various reasons. Watch your pair, who eats the eggs? Then remove the culprit. If it is both, can use the wire mesh method. They could be eating eggs cause they are stressed at times. You just have to watch.
