Mom wants to lay eggs

[timvriens]

Hey everybody , here again with an other question

My fry are freeswimming from April the 1st
Now the female is getting ready to lay eggs , cleaning and breeding tube out

What should I do , pull the female or just let them be
I don’t want to lose the fry haha

Most times if she lays eggs she or the pair will eat the fry they have .
This happened to me once and the fry were pretty large ..They ate them anyways .
The result was my first spawn of 40 being raised instead of jus 10 or so ..

As I was typing , she laid eggs , the male was not interested
I removed the eggs , she seems to calm down a bit
