Spawning and Egg Question

[Third Coast Tropical]

Not sure in mandarins, but eggs can be re-absorbed,...so that is very much a possibility. Possible reasons for it could be they were not ready, timing was wrong, water parameters not suitable for spawn, and probably a myriad of other possibilities. Also, it is possible they spawned too. Fish, don't trust them....as soon as you turn your back, they are up to no good!

Thanks L for your input. I figured you'd know stuff like that
