This is the 5th or 6th time they have laid eggs. Each time before the parents had eaten the eggs after 3 days or so.

This time I put anti fungal medication in the water as soon as I saw the spawn so I am hoping less eggs die from fungus.

My questions are this: Should I take the father out of the divided side of the tank? The mother? Both? I don't have an available hospital tank (occupied) so I cant try and raise the fry/eggs myself.

Should I feed them while they are fanning the the eggs? Will feeding them cause them to eat the eggs again? What about not feeding them?

As I have said, this is about the 6th time they have spawned and my wife an I are getting tired of being excited to see eggs only to have the parents eat them after three days. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
its better u feed them.
are u sure that its a male and female.
cause even if there are two females they lay eggs but eat them later.
 
remove the eggs and put them in a quart jar and put an aerator in with with a slow flow of oxygen.Add an anti fungal medicine in the quart jar.
this will ensure that ur eggs hatch and the fry turn up.
