It took a year for those fish to grow up 4 times bigger and find a pair. This spawing was just a tryout now Ill move that pair to their privatetank.

Are you certain? It could be one of the pair is holding eggs - the fishes could be egg holding mouthbreeders.

I left a ledlamp for parents overnight and saw the eggs at the morning on top of mangrove. I came home 12h later and all eggs were gone. I have watched my G. parnaibae breeding and they take their eggs to their mouths right away.

Well, there was eggs and later fry in their mouths and I catched them to floating frytank and moved parents back to big tank. Fry is now over 1cm long and not too many dead so far.
