I have a pair of fancy white occies, that have had two nest about a year ago. They ate both nest, but were only young fish. They have been cleaning their pot like mad but no eggs for a year. In the same rack of tanks I have a pair of darwin black occies that spawn regularly, so i switched pots with a fresh batch of eggs. They tended to the eggs straight away and did not eat any till hatch. About eight days later they laid a nice big nest of their own and tended them till hatch, so i was very happy with the out come.
