My angels ate there eggs ?

A lot of angelfish seem to have lost their parental instincts, it's definitely not unheard of and breeders do regularly remove the eggs to rear the fry. However, if it's the first spawn it's not unusual for any cichlid to fail the first time, or even the second or third. So maybe give them another shot or two before you jump the gun. You could also try removing half if possible.

They ate everything , and yes it was there first spawn together , the female was with another male before , but she favored the new bigger male so I separated them , and they laid eggs on the overflow box . So I was kind of stuck . Thanks guys .
You can take them out if you want to deal with raising them in another container. You will need to feed them at least twice a day and lots of water changes. You can't sell them for much so money shouldn't be a motivation. They will lay a new set in a weeks time if you do that. Good Luck.
This. A lot of them are being farm raised and they are losing their parental instincts. Give them a few more shots at it and if they keep eating them then remove them to a separate tank and raise them yourself.
