Discus eggs on cone pulled out of water
Hello Everyone,
I did something stupid this morning and would like to know the impact and risk. I saw some breeding behavior from 2 discus in my community tank and decided to pull them out and place them into a 35 cube aquarium setup for breeding. The pair is newly formed and to my knowledge they have never mated before. After a few days of them cleaning the cone and no action, this morning I decided to clean the tank and removed the cone and noticed eggs after removing it from the aquarium. Now the cone was out of the water for no longer than 5 seconds before placing it back into the water. What are the chances of damage to the eggs?
Many thanks in advanced.

Should not hurt them at all.
