It was 4 days until my male and female betta's agreed to hug each other. Last night, when I was taking a picture with my tetra tank, I've noticed my betta tank and they were embracing each other and when I look closely here's what I've noticed:
-The eggs were on the ground (10+ eggs).
-After they hug each other, I don't see daddy betta is placing the eggs on the bubble nest but instead he gasp for air and makes more bubble nest.
-I saw daddy betta eat some eggs (I think 3 of them) while falling to ground.

what does this means? They are on a 5 gallon tank with live plants and a heater set to 80degrees F. Right now mommy betta is still on the tank and I'm afraid to remove her 'cause daddy betta might get angry and cause him to eat the eggs (if there are some).
