Like you stated it's their first time. A experienced female will normally remove the infertile eggs. Yes that batch will probably not have any eggs hatching. Let the pair keep trying. If the pair not getting it right after a couple more spawn remove object with eggs attached and try hatching them yourself. You will need to seed a sponge filter or filter prior for the hatchery aquarium. Try not to allow the eggs to come in contact with air.

next time add some methylene blue. It should help control your fungus.

I would recommend doing Methylen Blue in a separate aquarium but you are correct it will control fungus. I actually have MB in the powder form so it has a longer shelf life.
