Vacuum them out. You should probably just vacuum out the eggs beforehand if you don't want fry.

What is the reasoning behind vacuuming out the eggs?

So you don't get wigglers.

Don't worry about it. The other fish in the tank will eat the kids once they free swim. If you want to raise a batch you will need a dedicated love nest tank for the parents and a series if larger tanks to grow them out.

Someone will eat them. They will enjoy the live food snack.

If you don't want to raise fry, you vacuum out the eggs so you don't have to worry about them hatching. Just do it during a WC.
