Why the eggs don´t stick?

Glad to hear that Hans 🙂 May be the male moved some of the eggs somewhere else in the tank. I was able to observe one spawn where it seemed like the eggs would not stick to the surface of the cave and they were all laying on the ground, but the male moved them to a cave that was formed out of leaves from the leaf litter in the tank, raised them there and after couple days he moved the larvae back to the pottery cave. But I think this particular male does this on regular basis becouse I was never able to observe him guyrding eggs in the cave but I was isolating larvae from this cave before.
