    Hi Micah,
    Best you can do is to let them try and raise babies. IF they are a good pair and you get wigglers you can then move the pair to another tank and they will spawn again very soon.

    I have a planted community tank 7 discus, cardinals, rummy noise, cory’s. Ph 6.4, kh /gh 6, its winter so water is 29 degrees Celsius.
    I have watched them for more than n hour and they seem to one be guarding and one eating eggs, so I have decided to put a divider
    In.

    Like Al said. Wait the couple days to see if they hatch (wigglers). They likely won't last long in your community tank. They'll get eaten and life goes on. Congrats for having an environment that they're comfortable spawning in. If you want to raise fry, then you'll need to set up a separate breeding tank, and possibly more as they grow, and be prepared to change lots of water for them. A whole other ballgame.

    If they all turn white, they weren't fertilized. If they remain and turn into wigglers, then you have confirmed pair. Too bad you didn't see who laid the eggs. Congrats!
