My red turquoise and red snakeskin decided to pair off and have now decided to lay eggs on the side of a piece of driftwood. Since my pH is fairly high I only assume the eggs or fry will not survive, not that it matters either way since rearing discus fry I have no time for right now. If the fry do hatch, I don't want to put in the extra work right now for daily water changes and constant feedings, so should I just leave them and let the parents raise them or do I hope the other fish eventually eat them???

Somebody's bound to eat them sooner or later. Sorry to hear you're so busy.

If you're not concerned with a successful spawn, then don't worry about it. Let whatever happens, happen. Not too clear on the constant water changing and feeding part tho. A Discus pair can take care of and feed their fry for SEVERAL weeks without any help from you...Bill
