You don't want a big lump of egg yolk in the tank because it will cause ammonia problems. You only need to add a small amount several times a day otherwise the water quality will go off and the fish will get sick or die.

You need to get the babies onto newly hatched brineshrimp and microworms asap. Keep them on these foods for at least one month then feed them other foods as well.

Leave all the babies with the parents. Cichlids that are grown up with the parents for the first month or more, make better parents when they breed.

One of the reasons angelfish usually eat their eggs and young is because they are all artificially reared and don't learn parental care from their parents. It screws up the babies and stops them developing normal behaviour.
