I watched the whole thing. The female didn't pick up the first egg. She tried few times but she gave up and laid others.

I think the fertilization happens after she picks it up (just like electric yellows). After she laid about a dozen eggs, she kept trying to lay more but nothing came out, however she would think she laid the egg and would check to see if she did, that when the male will do his deed. This lasted about 20minutes.

Hmmm time to invest in matthews egg tumbler :)

Thanks Mike (Noddy65) and Grant (GParkes) for the awesome fish.
