Discus Eggs

[aqtnp]

Hi,
I have a discuss who just laid eggs 2 days ago. She and the male have been gurading the eggs. My question is that the eggs typically hatch in 3 days and then the babies feed off the slime of the mom for the first 5 days, right? I have a 100 gal tank with other fish - 6 discus, rummys, harlequin, serpaes, tetras, etc. If the babies happen to make it, do I try to get the mom and dad discus and the babies out and into another tank so that the babies don't get eaten or do I just hope for the best and let nature take it's course?
Thanks.
Jo

Yes I heard to move the parents and babies and to their own tank otherwise they will have a 1% chance to live That's what I read anyways online
