Breeding Aggression

[Alexxxsv]

Hey guys quick question, my male turquoise and female blue diamond have been laying continuously every 2 weeks for the last 4 months. Being that they are in my community tank they never pass the eggs stage. Keep in mind that I have no interest in breeding I just enjoy my show tank. Whenever she is getting ready to lay which is very often lol they get really aggressive with the rest of my discus and it is quite annoying to watch. What can I do to reduce their breeding ? Should I drop temperature? They are currently at 85-86 degrees. Sounds like a dumb problem to have lol. I’m happy that they are healthy enough to spawn but also would be okay without it to avoid unnecessary aggression. Tank is a 120 Gallon 4x2x2’ with many plants and 2x FX5 Cannister filters. Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys this might be cruel but I remove the eggs and they go back to normal. I don’t want to part with either one lol.
