i have a cracking pair of the above apistos which have now spawned 3 times. however each time the eggs have gone, i assume that the female has eaten them.

they are in a 60cm tank by themselves with a PH of 6.

both are in excellent condition and are fed on frozen bloodworm and cyclops.
any thoughts on how to stop this or is it just a case of wait and cross fingers?

Obviously your care and feeding are excellent. You don't mention how soft your water is. My suggestion is to lower the pH to at most 5.5 and use very soft water. It is the water values found in their natural habitat.
