I have never seen Pelvicachromis eggs, because they are always hidden away in a cave. I'd be patient and hope for the best, but sometimes it takes fish a few tries to get it right.
Thread resurrection. They ate the eggs right after they hatched, the female's tube is down and both are showing off and chasing other fish away. Take 2!
Thanks. It's pretty cool, the male barricades then trance at night and covers the whole hut in Java moss. The female with stay in and fan the eggs while the male patrols all night. Pretty devout parents!
