Well came home tonight and boom eggs on a stone about 30-60 of the!!! and to very protective dutch rams.
In the tank I have also got 3 dwarf gori's 9 platies a betta and a gold nug plec.

What do I do now?
Will any of the others eat the eggs?
Should I move them into a empty tank I have ( its cycled and ready to go (was gona get another betta))?
If I move them will they fall of the stone once out of water

Yes there first batch

First I put this message up coz i was a bit excited but now i've read some bits and bobs on the web i'm thinging maybe this is a practis run? what about seperating them?

the rams that is from the main tank??

The rest of the fish will then eat the eggs, i would just let nature takes it's course, let them practice.

Its always risky taking them all and moving to another tank as the parents might get upset and eat them. As it is the first batch they may eat them or the young anyway. To give them a chance put on a small lamp at night so they can guard the eggs from the plec which will be the biggest danger. If they get through the next few days and the eggs hatch then start your baby brine shrimp for them or buy the frozen cubes. Once they are free swimming you can gently catch them and move them into their own tank with sponge filtration.
If it all goes wrong give them a couple of weeks and then move them to their own tank where they can get peace to try again.
