if you never touch the tank and he swallowed the eggs, it could be because the female keeps disturbing him cause she is horny.. sometimes, my male will have a mouthful of eggs.. but the pouch will become less after a few days due to disturbance by the female even after mating. and i can see fighting signs on the female fins, probably caused by male chasing the female away to keep a fine distance between them. and in so doing, maybe he accidentally swallowed some eggs.
