Hi all,
Today I was caught off guard with angelfish eggs. It seems that I have a pair because the female well laid the eggs the other one seems to be fertilizing (the male seems to take out like a small yellowish poop from his underneath and he pass on through the eggs.) They spawned on an amazon leave. They where white but now are like yellowish/transparent or faded white. Right now I do not have any tanks available to host fry/pair. What should I do?

Tomorrow I usually do the water change. Unfortunately the eggs are on the upper level of the aquarium and when I do the water change there will be a possible that these will almost be out of water level. Should I still do the water change? I usually make the water cooler then the aquarium (maybe because of this they spawned) Should I still make the water cooler? Is there a slight possible that these will live? If yes should I feed them or they should feed themselves on some algae and what ever they find in the aquarium?
 
Exposing the eggs to air for a short period will not hurt them. But hold off on the water change.
 
So i have to do it next week :) Should I leave fry in the community tank? Or should I move them in another tank?
 
unfortunately all the eggs has gone :( Will wait for another spawn. This was their first. I heard that after 10 days I should expect more. Should I give them more tries or should I remove the eggs and put them in a jar by them selves right away?
 
Leave them in the tank or move them to another tank with a sponge filter and water from the tank the parents are in so there isn't as much shock.
 
What is the minimum tank dimension I can keep angelfish in and after they are free swimming I would remove the pair and leave the babies in that tank to grow out?
