The egg not fertilised so the male eat them to prevent them from rotting and spreading to the other eggs

some males do have the habit of eating eggs or else some are still in their first few spawning rounds and tend to eat eggs, in this case he wil be fine after few more spawnings.

you can try artificial hatching.
Remove the eggs after they have mated
