my sevy just lay eggs

[IMCL85]

It just happen today morning they still laying egg right now. And chasing the other 4 away like mad as usual I was about to get the thing to seperate them from each other today. But seems like a bit late should I move them from there parent since its a bared tank it have surely nothing inside so eggs r lay on the plastic thinggy that link the glass together . Should I put those egg to my hospital 10g or let the parent guard them? This is my second time have sevy lay egg last time was like 4 years ago when I have 5 of the old one who past away now. I'm not kind of experiance when it comes to taking care of fry. Any suggestion is welcome

Remove all of the severums except for the pair that spawned, and then let them guard the eggs. This was already recommended to you, and it's the fair thing to do for the fish.

Agreed...theres no better way to care for fry then to let the parents do it. If they choose to abort then so be it. Removing the remaining sevs is extremely important as they will look at the remaing sevs as threats. Any cichlid will display heightened aggression durin a spawn and make it a living hell for the non breeding sevs. A 40gal isn't suitable for a pair of full grown and with 6 decent sized ones and a batch of fry theres going to be nothing but problems and losses.
