Egg Help Please!

[tokyogasmask]

Hello.
My Juvi FH did her first spawn today, and I know it may be a stupid question to you experts, but as she is alone (no male) I need to remove the eggs right? How soon should I do this as she is only just finished and is kind of guarding them and quite skittish.
She still has her tube out so she may still be laying? How long does it take? Sorry for the noob questions!
Here is a pic:

Let her tend to them she will probably eat them when she realizes they aren't fertilized. If they start to go bad and get fuzzy/cottony looking remove them.

Thanks for your help.
I took the ceramic pot covered in eggs out as some looked like they were going off. She went balistic and started biting my knuckles!

All is calm now though. Cheers.

Yeah I could have told you that. It's her instinct to protect her eggs any way she knows even if it means biting your knuckles lol.

HAHA I was quite suprised! I am a Snakehead keeper mainly, and I expect getting a bite occasionally from the big boys, But this tiny little thing had quite a nip!

Whislt laying her eggs and after her colors werer very dark but strong, how long before it goes back to normal and she is totally calmed down?

Cheers again, TG
