I just took two peacock cichlids out of my 180g into a 15g as they were mating. The female has eggs in her mouth now. Can someone please tell me how long till they spit out fry? Should I take out the male? He seems to not be harassing her now she has eggs in her mouth. Also what species are they do you think?

Thanks mate I removed the male and put him back on the bigger tank.
 
I had another female in the tank that I realized had had eggs in her mouth maybe a week longer so I removed her too after a lot of trouble. I had to remove the rocks and everything but she spat out all the eggs right when I go her out. I've out her in a tank now with this guy so hopefully in another month they will spawn. It takes about a month right for the females to have eggs again?
