well my two albino corys just breed. and i have two 1" sen bichirs in the tank with them (wasnt planing on the corys breeding) that im gonna move. but i was wondering if i should remove the parents as well? like will they freak out when im taking out the bichirs and eat the eggs or will they be ok? also what should i do if and when the babies hatch? like what should i feed them? thanks in advance and here are some pictures

Are they taking care of their young like cichlids would? If not, remove them; unless you want the young to get eaten.
 
Eggs appear frequently in the right conditions, it's unlikely that they will hatch if not removed. I've had a couple of young from eggs left stuck to various surfaces more by fluke than intention.
Unless you want to breed them i would just leave them there as a tasty treat for your birchirs.
 
...also if they do live they will find there own food. Very good scavengers.
 
sweet thanks everyone. i moved the birchirs and the adult corys to another 29 gl tank. so hopefully the eggs will hatch.

also if they do hatch should i lower the water level or will the babies be ok getting to air?
