Thank for all of the advice from everyone, I really don't want to take the eggs out, the last 2 spawns the freeswimming fry would swim across the tank through the divider, and the male protected them with just as much care as the mother, they are both very good parents, I think I may have just been bothering them too much, also their tank is in the hallway, so me my wife and my 2 kids pass by constantly, I am going to put a blanket over the tank next time and see if that helps, if they get eaten again then I will remove the eggs from then on.
