Surprise!! spawning in grow out tank, what do I do?

Woke up today to a surprise!!!

This is my grow out tank with 5 other discus in a 100g.

I don't know if I should move them out to another small tank with the heater (eggs are on heater cord) or go buy that white ceiling eggcrate to separate them on this side of the tank?

If you want to see what happens with the eggs, then put the divider in. I would keep them in there for now. Nice surprise.

it sure is exciting to see them spawn! i'd just leave them in the tank with the others and let them do their thing. over time, with practice, they get better at caring for the eggs. u may not want them raising fry at all until they are a bit larger anyway, as it takes a lot of their energy and can affect their growth rate.

that sure is a ton of eggs, could they be two females?

I left them in there for the time being and all the eggs got fungus on them. I might put the unproven pair in a 29g with a cone and see if I get any fry.
