cichlids acting all crazy

i fed my fish some flakes tonight and i watched my lab and it spit
some eggs out and took some food, then sucked them back in quickly. i
am now even more confused. the joanjohnsonae stopped chasing it and
it has found a nice hiding spot where noone bothers it (actually
inside my driftwood). now, since this is they only one of its
species, will these eggs hatch and leave me with some hybrid of
something else in the tank, or are they just unfertalized?

probably just unfertilised eggs mate, you will find out in a few days.
somehow they know the eggs have died and will just spit them out.
