    Betta channoides spawning video and problem

    Hi guys.
    I recently purchased 4 Betta channoides. I previously had a pair about a year ago, but after they spawned quickly died. I was recently offered some F1 animals and took an adult male and female and 2 youngsters.
    Well today, i witnessed the mating ritual. Unfortunatly i was unable to capture the actuall wrapping, and when i found my camera the male already had a mouthfull of eggs. In this video, you can clearly see the male has a huge mouthfull and looks like he cannot take anymore eggs in.
    Do you think the male will eventually take the eggs off the female? I am unsure if this is their first spawn or not, but i doubt it as they are adults and i got them from a breeder.
    I will try to embedd the video, but please excuse the blue paint, this tank was previously a marine setup that i decided to turn freshwater. Water also a bit blurry due to ketapang leaves.
    OK cannot find a way to embedd, perhaps a mod will kindly help me out. Here is the link...

    Hi guys
    this spawn failed. yes, there were eggs in the females mouth she was spitting up for the male. The male had a mouthfull for about 9 days, then i saw her trying to pester him to spawn again. Then he swallowed the eggs.
    This time, when they breed, i will be removing all the females and leaving just the male on his own in a planted 2ft tank.
