EGGS need help

[fishy5]

So my 2 flowerhorn laid eggs last night (I saw them this morning). I have 2 fry tank with a 1 sponge filter and 1 home made K1 kaldness moving bed filter in each. I have a 20 gallon tank to put the female in when the eggs hatch. I do not have a tank for the male and both are with the eggs now. Should I divide the male and take the female out or do I need to leave them in? When should I transport the fry and can I move the eggs now? Also I dont know which eggs are fertilized I have white eggs (which I know are not fertilize), Half white and half dark eggs(which im assuming are not fertilized), I have all dark eggs also. I have heard that they will have a black spot in the egg I dont really see a black spot in any and Im assuming its too early to see it yet because the fry havent developed inside the eggs.(both my FH are fertile). Please help me tell if these eggs are fertilized. Also are the moving bed filters too strong for they fry? Im nervous that they will get sucked up into the kaldness.

Most of the eggs are white which means there not going to hatch, unfertilized.

As I said I know that what about the brown ones?

The fry would be fine in the section with the sponge covered intake

Remove rock and place in fry tank with filter with the sponge covered intake. You will have to remove bad eggs with a small tubing line, or turkey baster so you don't jeopardize water quality.

Methylene blue can protect fertile eggs from fungus.

Sorry for responding late, went on Tetra site for fungus guard didn't get the answer I personally would have liked, so for myself no I wouldn't use.

Most of the time, I prefer to let parents stay witheggs and fry.
Although 1st time, and inexperienced cichlids may eat eggs, most cichlids are great parents and diligently defend, and take care of eggs and fry.
They fan the eggs providing oxygen, eat the unfertilized and fungus covered eggs, preventing the good eggs from getting fungus, and fry will often grow faster and stronger if left with parents, or at least one parent.
It can be a good idea to remove the male if he threatens the female.

I'd leave the parents in the tank. If they happen to eat them they'll lay again. But I would let the at least let the female raise her young till they reach 1/4". What you need to do is start a food culture right now. That's going to take a while you can go with newly hatch brine but you can also buy frozen baby brine for now. Even hardboiled egg yolk I have used. The eggs that go chalk white are dead.
