I have a pair of discus that I bought from Hans. They have breed 5 times now the last time the eggs hatched but the next morning all the babies were gone. I guess mom and dad had a snack that night. I checked again this AM and they have layed more eggs. My question would it be better to move mom and dad and the eggs to another tank. I have moved the tankmates before and that didn't work either.

they should be in their own breeding tank without any tank mates

I'd move mom and dad to their own tank. If you can move their fav object of choice to spawn on. If you have a cone you can use that and create a cover so they can't eat them. I keep a nightlight on near the tank just to keep the parents relaxed.
