The mother generally eats the dead eggs

What size of tank are they currently housed in?

Would a divider help?

That's really to big to move into the 10 gallon. Might out of luck this time, that's allot of hungry mouths for the parents to fend off.

You can just try and leave everyone in the tank and see how the parents do at fending them off. However you may have success with moving the fry about 3 days after they are free swimming to their own tank and feeding baby brine.

None viable eggs will be white.

The eggs with the black dots are fertilized and viable.

What green terror? That's a roccio octofasciatus, aka Jack dempsey......

Is it a breeding pair (if so how big are they) or has the female just played eggs?

Sure is, also that water is super milky. Looks like a bacteria bloom. What size tank is this?

 

[Freakgecko91]

Major bacterial bloom for sure! Either that or someone literally poured milk into the tank

 

[aubreekay1]

I know the water has been cloudy the past 2 days i was wondering y.. i didnt wana med i didnt kno if it would hurt the eggs.. and as far as i knew when i got them the sign said green terror and its a 100 gal

Cloudy water doesn't need meds, it needs water changes, as I'm willing to bet your ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate are through the roof. Surprised they bred in a bacterial bloom like that.

100000% positive you have a jack dempsey. Without a doubt, I'd put $1,000 on it.

Also, a 100 gallon may seem big, but that tank is barely big enough for 2 oscars, let alone those, plus 2 jack dempsey as well as 2 meeki...Your bacteria can't keep up with the ammonia and nitrite more than likely, which is what is causing that nasty looking water.

 

[Mogurako]

There's nothing to medicate, you have a bacteria bloom which indicates a huge imbalance in the water chemistry.

-What's the dimensions on the tank?
-How often and how much water do you change?
- What filter do you have?
- How much/often and what do you feed?

 

[aubreekay1]

Well thx for telling me what they were.. but i litteraly just change the water 10 mins ago the eggs are some are white some r brown and some tan with black dots in them
